Samwise, Frodo's sword didn't actually contact with him. It just went through his apparel.

Most of you are working under the assuption the never broken phrase is an averment ofr fact, when is is most likely motivational or aspirational. "Our Team will go undefeated", well maybe, maybe not.

BH I think that what Beleg is getting at is that a sword like Anduril or Orcrist or Glamdring or Sting cant break under any sort of use in battle...[\quote]

I also find that unsatisfying. If dragonfire, for example, doesn't count as "battle", or a smack upside the head from grond, then what does?

Quote:

Of course Narsil cut off Saurons finger (that's something that REALLY bugs me. How in the HECK did Isildur sneak up on Sauron to cut off the ONE finger? I mean wouldn't Sauron like KNOW?) and the power from his being might be enough to snap a sword in half.

Errgh, that damned scene from the movie. Sauron got a SMACKDOWN from Gil-Galad and Elendil, though they were mortally wounded in the process. Isildur did not "sneak up" on Sauron, he walked up to him while he was down, and cut off the ring.

I just read the Weathertop Chapter last week and I think that Frodo only cut the Black Rider's Robe.

I don't think the book stated that he actually stabbed Nazgul Flesh. Otherwise the Sword would have broken like Merry's.

I think that was pretty much spelled out with Strider saying (to the best of my memory) , while holding the bit of robe "This is the only hut which you did him, I am afraid, because all blade which touch him perish"

Yep!You probably could break them!

WallRocker · 11-20-2002, 06:44 PM

I would believe that neither Glamdring,Orcrist or Sting could be broken. However, I do believe that they could be Unmade, like The One Ring could be Unmade.

Yah you probably can break them then. Especially if we have agreed that destroyed is the same as broken.
