Not all Extraplanar creatures are evil, and not all evil creatures are Extraplanar. Hence the distinction I made in my suggestion. The weapon shows its' 'true' power when used against an 'ultimate' evil, an evil-aligned Extraplanar creature in this case.
i.e. Orcs are evil, but not Extraplanar.
There are good Devas too, not to mention Planetars.
The Bless was more of a token touch than to actually confer any real benefits. Add flavour to a weapon, if you will. It is after all, a sword meant for a King, and Kings are supposed to be blessed and all that.
The base damage and THAC0 bonus was purposely made low so that it would balance out the +6 enchantment and the huge bonuses against evil targets. Not to mention the chance to inflict a vorpal hit now and then. This is a sword that can punch through Absolute Immunity( and thwack Anath to boot).
ADD] To emphasise a point, this is a +6 enchanted One-Handed weapon.
