I agree. It's just as likely for it to be Turin's knife as it is for Turgon's sword to end up in the troll-horde. And I like the fact that it's not spelled out. If one wants to believe they're the same knife, that works. But if one doesn't, then that's no biggie either. Squire mentioned it being too much wink-wink, nod-nod, but I don't think so. I think it helps to connect the stories all together.
"...not till now have I understood the tale of your people and their fall. As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last. For if this is indeed, as the Eldar say, the gift of the One to Men, it is bitter to receive." -Arwen Undómiel
