You might have mentioned that Narsil cut the Ring from Sauron's hand.

Very picky. And I think Elvish blades glow blue when evil is near.

Not all elvish blades glowed blue, if they glowed at all. Glamdring did glow with the presence of evil, but the color varied from a white glow to blue, and the same with sting. the color of the luminescence was probably up to the bladesmith, and i think the elves had more imagination that to make ALL of them glow the same color. Sting, Glamdring, Anduril (which shone with a white and red flame), and Gurthang(who, though black, did have glowing edges) were the only swords that made thier own light. Elvish swords were of excellent craftmanship, but i doubt they ALL glowed... Sting and Glamdring were probably "special" blades.

I should reread LotR on this, but I think it's suggested somewhere thatall elvish blades glow. Not really sure, though.
