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.

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

Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,"
"Well, John Henry said to the Cap'n, "A man ain't nuthin' but a man. But, before I let that steam drill beat me, gonna die with my hammer in my hand, Lawd, Lawd, gonna die with my hammer in my hand."
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!)

"I handed in the new RJ novel with the
working title, BY THE SWORD. David says the sales force loved the title at the
pre Turkey-Day sales meeting, so that's what it will be. That means Paul Ramplin
gets a credit line in the acknowledgments."
