That's simply not true, by the third age and certainly long before, the Avari would have worked out metal before any other race, in fact they were visited first by the valar Orome who they would have based their early weapons off of, in fact I would expect the Avari to likey be the most ancient and culurally advanced people in middle earth however small and well hidden, I believe they should be more discreet than even the dwarves however, they're still immortal elves, do you really think that with thousands of years they can't even work out a little bloomery smelting at the very least?

(They'd also have quite an eastern appearance in their swords, their weapons would evolve from practical tools first however, less tested by war, moreso by dueling amongst themselves, so some weapons would be for hunting, a tradition I expect since being visited by Orome, then something like a katana decoratively but closer to a European dueling sword if we're going for swords) My friend, this thread is one year okd, was the post really necesarry?
