Actually I think it makes some more sense there, as in the PJ adaptation Aragorn actually has a proper sword in addition to a torch.

Does anyone know why Tolkien chose to have Aragorn, supposedly the best swordsman at the time and a man on an incredibly important and dangerous mission, go virtually unarmed?
