All but two Repairman Jack novels have has one-word titles.

The titles of Repairman Jack novels don't immediately make the purchaser aware of what the novel is actually about (other than the statement "A Repairman Jack Novel"). In other words, the titles seem somewhat ambiguous at first.

Forged

That's ambiguous. It could refer to forgeries or the sword's metal begin forged by a blacksmith, which is what the Repairman Jack novels are all about anyway, forging Jack into a hero.

How about "Over the Edge". It's at least in line with "All the Rage".

"Cuts like a Knife"
"The Cut Runs Deep"



"Better Than A Ginsu"Big Grin

If the sword is evil.............Black Blade.
If the sword is to be used for good........Sword of Light.


Of course the "tenants" might have had a hand in things.........Magical Edge or Magically Made

Over the Edge is the name of a Jonathan Kellerman novel.

Personally, I don't think you should feel confined to one-word titles. Shake things up a bit. Anyway, assuming the plot could go any which way:


The Sword Path
The Forever Blade
Double-Edged
Cut Across
Severed
Devil's Blade
Savior's Sword



Or, if you're willing to lower yourself to a pun:





"Heir Cut"

How about "Double Edges" or just "Edges"? I was going to suggest "The Edge" but Ken pretty much cornered that one with "Edge".
