The blade is 26 inches, not the entire weapon. The entire weapon is closer to 37 inches. So you are correct that they aren't longswords, which have a blade length of between 35 and 43 inches, but they're too long to be classed as short swords or long daggers, which actually average around 20 inches in blade length, which is a full 6 inches shorter than these ones.

Hang on, let me look up house swords and viking swords, and see if I can reclassify this.
