After Merry tries to recover the blade that he used to stab the Witch King on the Palinor, he finds it was smoking like a dry branch that has been thrust in a fire.

And as he watched it, it writhed and withered and was consumed.

Well, the narrator goes on to explain why this happened, and it's absolutely essential to understanding why Eowyn was then able to kill the Witch-King with a normal sword after Merry stabbed him in the leg with that very special weapon.

So passed the sword of the Barrow-Downs, work of Westerness.

But glad would he have been to know its fate, who wrought it slowly long ago in the North Kingdom when the Dúnedain were young, and chief among their foes was the dread realm of Angmar and its sorcerer-king.
