You can craft them, uprade them in any forge and enchant them of course.

Update: 2013/02/05 Watch a video of this in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_icNrTKh0N8 Courtesy of RaygenHD. Thanks to him.
Update: 2013/01/23 Just playing in 3Dsmax and decided to mod this and add optional sword and greatsword for people who prefer this kind of weapon. Just download in the optional section. You don't need the main mod for this to work. These are just a little more powerful than daedric conterparts, craftable, upgradable and enchantable.
Update 2017/06/24: The mod is up to skyrim special edtion , thans to XvomTheMad:
