Narsil was reforged FOR Aragorn (The Sillmarillion Glossary), hence you could argue that the restriction came with the reforging, the original Narsil would have been able to be used by Dwarves. The sword was written "with many runes" (LOTR Book III, The Ring goes South, Chapter III,The Ring goes South) by Elrond's elven-smiths.
