OK. WHAT is wrong with Ekets? Why would the Gondorians not make them? Did the Numenoreans have some secret knowledge of Dagger-Forging that Gondor could not have replicated? Would the Kings, who tried to make their Kingdom similar to Numenor suddenly have decided "Hey! Let's stop making Ekets!"?

It makes sense that Gondor would have continued to use these as Sidearms. Just because Isildur used one does not mean that Gondor stopped making them after he died.
