And the spikes on the dunlending sword would more often be a liability than an advantage in battle (it's still a sword, not a mace). And that colour is actually pretty accurate of what steel without a finish looks like, and it looks accordingly rusted. but why would they want rusted weapons? they have iron weapons that aren't rusty.
