I think you're taking the whole thing with Artorias' sword a bit to literally.

Personally, I think that the boss weapons are not the real weapons but replicas that gained similar powers to the originals from the souls used. This means that the three Greatswords aren't the actual three (compared to weapons like the Cleansing Greatshield or Beatrice's Catalyst which are physically picked up) but simply weapons with the same powers as their original version.

The Giant Blacksmith most likely forged the weapons in the first place, after all. So he could probably recreate them again.
