I'm a little late to this thread, but I don't understand the reasoning below:

They are undeniably canon: Boromir I was killed in a battle in which no Nazgûl or men were present by a Morgul-wound in the Third Age, meaning that orcs with Morgul-weapons were present and existed. That's more than can be said for many less powerful things.

Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 00:08, March 13, 2017 (UTC) Boromir I was certainly struck by a Morgul blade in the sudden assault out of Mordor in 2475 of the Third Age, but there isn't really anything to suggest that the attacking force was comprised solely of Black Uruks; it is altogether possible that there were other orcs and Men among the force, and it is almost certain that they would have had at least one of the Nine as their captain. Any of these others could have done the deed, though one of the Nazgûl is most likely: they are known to use the weapons, and while they feared Boromir, the rest of their servants would have feared him even more. The reason why only uruks were mentioned is because they were the most noteworthy element of the army, as this was the first time they were seen by the Men of Gondor, having not ventured out of Mordor before the invasion. Nothing here excludes the possibility of orcs wielding Morgul blades, but neither does anything confirm it beyond doubt; it is not "undeniably canon".
