Talking Swords

[Dininziliel]

This is all so timely! I really just entered this thread because it was the first short one on the list so I could see if my new old self was really back from the living, and . . . what should I find but the one thread that is bringing up the very question that occurred to me this morning as I was listening to The Silmarillion ?

Saucepan Man provides the perfect segue for my question--
When Beleg is asked what gift he would receive for leaving to watch over Turin, he asks for a sword. Now, during the description of this it mentions that the sword was made from iron that fell as a star. This has been mentioned as has Melian's warning to Beleg. My question pertains to a statement in between.

One other sword only in Middle-earth was like to it. That sword does not enter into this tale, though it was made of the same ore by the same smith; and that smith was Eol the Dark Elf . . .

What was the other sword? It couldn't have been Narsil/Anduril, could it? Another sword in UT?
