I... don't think that's how evolution works. Please tell me of the advanced industrial technology of the Inuit again, will you? Also, if mithril were so easy to steal, everybody would have it. They don't. And even if they stole lumps of mithril, they wouldn't be able to smelt them. Among men, the helmets of the tower guard were reckoned priceless, for they were brought from Númenor when it perished, and with it perished most of the mithril men possessed. The Rohirrim, who came along several centuries after all that, would certainly not have mithril warhammers – and, by the way, Helm is never mentioned having any weapon at all: the name "Hammerhand" is meant to represent his physical strength. Finally, it's never said what Narsil is made of, and so we can be sure it wasn't mithril, because that would at least be worth mentioning. As for who made it, that would be Telchar, a dwarf. Satisfied?
