That is why that blade in particular is anathema to the Witch-King. The long and the short of it is that the weapons that were buried with them were specifically forged (and enchanted, or at least it was intimated) to battle the forces of Angmar and even the Witch-King himself. The warriors who fell in that conflict were buried in the barrows, which were not evil places until the Witch-King sent evil spirits to occupy them. He gathered men and orcs to him and attacked the Northern Dúnedain, who got the Elves to help them. He founded the kingdom of Angmar and named himself 'The Witch-King of Angmar'. Another detail to note: Sauron sent the Lord of the Nazgûl, to fight the Northern Dúnedain, located in Arnor (to the North of Middle Earth).
