And who's to say that Numenoreans steel is not better or equal to that of Valyria? It is stated several times that "their shields were in breaking and their swords could not be withstood. Their craft was surpassed only by that of Valinor".

So basically the best weapons in middle earth. Who's to say that their craft is not better then that of Valyria?
