Ooh! Tell me more!
I'm guessing it's partly because his father was a swordsmith and the only named maker of enchanted (well, cursed) blades?
It would also make a twisted, evil sense for Maeglin to make swords to specifically detect
Orcs - it would focus everyone's attention on that one possible enemy, letting him be wicked without undue suspicion. But perhaps this is an overly-uncharitable view of Maeglin.
