I took that more as symbolic, Winter told Weiss to picture her enemies. To Winter the enemies she had to overcome were Grimm, hence why her summon appeared in the shape of one. On the other hand Weiss sees her enemy as that Knight, which is why that sword appeared. They're not actually Grimm, the summon just manifested in the appearance of one.
