Yet another construction completely from the movie.Scimitar??? :huh: Hmm, I hadn't been paying attention to the terminology that they'd been applying to the weapons. Those orc blades look to me to be a fair effort in fusing the idea of a falchion with that of a meat cleaver and suited the Uruk-hai very well IMO. They could have called it a "cleaver".
As for Arwen's sword, I have no idea what I'd call that one. Even "katana" springs to mind although that would be inaccurate too methinks.
