Knight of Gondor... one or two inches long?! Sorry they would be longer than that! Compared to Merry and Pippin those blades were like short swords around 1.5 feet long. Remember that the two hobbits would be taller in ROTK due to the ent draught incident ;P Aren't Hobbits around four feet and a little taller? So the size of the blades do seem ok to me<P>And it would make sense that the Chieftain of the Dunedain would have a weapons store somewhere. Maybe he scavenged some from Deadmen's Pike, a place of reverence to the Dunedain. Things were stranger in the book, Aragorn carried a broken blade at Bree... well strange at the time.
