Will has reforged the knife once before using nothing but a woodfuelled campire and shear willpower. He can't do that again??
If the knife breaking closes the rifts between worlds, how come that didn't happen the first time he broke it?
Can't travel to another realm with your daemon? Well we saw that happen regularly, so that's just a lie.
And that's the only way to read this. A lie. The new rejime has won it's coup d'etat. The surviving witches and angels of the new regime want to prevent Will and Lyra from becoming a threat. So they do this by separating them and locking them back in their own worlds. They destroy the blade to keep their own monopoly on travel between worlds.
It's a repeated theme that rebellion is sparked by rejimes who don't care about people's wellbeing. And yet, the new rejime doesn't allow Will and Lyra to be happy for even a day before screwing up their lives.
Very unsatisfied that these two chose to live life in misery rather than call BS the moment the new regime proved to be just as bad as the authority, because it didn't care about their wellbeing at all. Clearly Will and Lyra are nothing like their parents.
These two would rather die alone in servitude than think for themselves and be happy together? That's not true love. I guess they learned nothing at all. Shame.
