The Broken Sword Blade is the snapped steel blade of a Broken Sword. It still has an edge and can be sharpened, fitted to a handle or melted down for steel.
Dismantle Bladed Item takes a Broken Sword apart with a hammer and gives this blade. Assemble Bladed Item puts it back on a Small Handle. At an Advanced Furnace it smelts into Steel Chunk.
Research Craft on the blade teaches seven forging recipes, two more than the Broken Katana Blade. The blade comes in two looks, with a tang and without one. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Rebuilding is the first use. Assemble Bladed Item fits the blade to a Small Handle with a hammer, club hammer or mallet, which is kept. The job needs Maintenance 1 and makes a Broken Sword again.
The edge can be kept keen. Sharpen Blade, Sharpen Blade Poorly with File and Sharpen Blade with Grindstone all accept it. The grindstone version needs a Grindstone station.
Smelting turns it into steel. The blade counts as a medium plus steel item. Smelt Steel From Medium Plus Steel Item gives three Steel Chunk. Smelt Medium Plus Steel Item melts it into a ceramic crucible of steel. Both need an Advanced Furnace.
Research is a strong reason to keep one. The recipes it teaches are Forge Simple Shortsword Blade, Forge Crude Sword Blade, Forge Shortsword Blade, Forge Sword Blade, Forge Machete Blade, Forge Simple Blade and Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword.
The Broken Simple Sword Blade is the iron version. It has a little less condition, 10 against 13. It smelts in a lower furnace but gives iron rather than steel.
How to Get Broken Sword Blade
Dismantle Bladed Item takes a Broken Sword apart and gives this blade. It needs a hammer, club hammer or mallet, which is kept. No skill and no station are needed. The blade never turns up in loot.

Notes
- Research Craft on the blade before smelting it, so all seven recipes are learned.
- An Advanced Furnace is needed to smelt it.
- A Small Handle and a hammer turn it back into a Broken Sword.
- Both looks, with and without a tang, work the same way.
