Edged
Sliced
Seppuku (don't know if anyone offs himself, though)
Daito
Shoto (but I'm assuming it's not a short sword, so this wouldn't work)
Odachi
I just noticed that a couple of these were mentioned before. Perhaps the act of the sword would work:
slash(ed)
thrust

Altering tense on other suggestions . . .
"Honing"
"Tempering"
"Forging"
"Tempering"
"Forging"
Or put "The" in front of any of those . . . you'd at least get a Saw-type movie out of the title.
"Steeled" . . . you know, since the sword was "stealed" and Jack is trying to find it. Ok, bad one. :p
"Edge of Disaster"
"Edge of Victory"
"Edge of Mystery"
"Slice of Otherness"
This is hard.
"Edge of Disaster"

Perfect translation, Biggles.
But I don't think Masamune's sword is evil. :p

Thank you! And I concur. We need guidance from FPW about whether this sword is Good, Evil or Ambivalent.

Blade in the Wind
Kurokatana
title help - maybe - Newt - 09-27-2007
I think the Japanese for katana (as the title) would look cool on the book cover.

I'll put two into the mix -
Leading Edge
(and my personal favourite) By The Sword (I know I'm biased, but I really like the double meaning of this one!)
