Whether Gold reforged Excalibur into the new dagger, or that the sword is just broken again, is something we will probably learn towards the end of the season.

I think he means there is no more Excalibur? From his statement it appears that Rumple channeled it into himself and then bound himself to his fake dagger........Unless the power is bound and channeled through the dagger into him. Otherwise it seems foolish to bind himself to a dagger he wanted to cleave himself from.
