I think that "Blade" would be more than adequate for Arwen's sword. However I think the most accurate description would be To said "toe" as the blade is straight, remains the same width for the length of the blade, and has one cutting edge. (Correct me if her blade in the movie doesn't match this description, I don't have a copy and I am going by memory.)
As for Aragorn's sword, he did not carry Narsil "from the beginning" nope, he has a diferent one.
I also believe that what Tolkien meant by the orc's curved blades, is flamme style. (To relate to D2 see: Kris and Flamberge) not curved as in scimitar, Katana, Wakizashi, Tanto, or Shamshir.
Also, on a different note, is there a reason given in the book for why Sting doesn't glow in the presence of the Urak Hai (in the movie) or did someone just screw up?
