You cannot recycle or break down items such as that in the vanilla game, therefore cannot get your materials back.

The reason for this is (probably) to prevent players from exploiting such a feature to bypass the "metals through portals" restrictions.... I otherwords, to prevent players from crafting all their metals into items, in order to transport them through the portal, with the intention of breaking them back down after porting home (to get the metal back)... I wouldn't ever expect to see the ability to "recycle" tools, weapons or gear for that very reason.

It would also be too easy to recycle weapon A to make weapon B for a specific enemy, or just to try it out, and then back to weapon A.
