The Blood Sword is one of 13 Top Cow artifacts

Being one of the 13 artifacts The Blood Sword is an old item. At its forging, a shaman summoned up a demon and then captured its essence, then shackled it to the blade. The blade brings great power at the cost of hunger for carnage, the wielder is bound to the blade and compelled to sate its hunger.

Being passed from one to another, Blood Sword wielders have clashed with Witchblade wielders in the past, one such event was Japan in 1635 when Shiori-sama had passed on her Witchblade. Blood Sword wielder had a mission to retrieve the Witchblade, but she was defeated and then killed. Blood Sword moved on to another wielder. It is unknown what happened to it, but it again surfaced in Japan in the hands of one samurai, he was soon betrayed by his own ally, and the sword stolen. New bearer became warlord through the sword's power; he was vigilant to watch out for betrayers. The symbiosis was good with such a wielder, the sword graved blood and the warlord supplied it, receiving power in return, he lived long even when the body was but a dust, his spirit was still bound to the sword.
Blood Sword slumbered until it woke in New York, It again clashed with another Witchblade wielder. Sara Pezzini defeated the Blood Sword in battle and released the samurai spirit; she then took the sword to a Curator. Where it was held until Ian Nottingham stole it and used it to exact revenge on some Yakuzas hunting him. When Ian was arrested, the Blood Sword was returned to Curator's care.

In Broken Trinity battle, Patrick Gleason brought the sword to battlefield, and stabbed Angelus. Next; Jackie Estacado used the sword to decapitate Angelus, thus killing the host, and leaving Angelus to seek another. The Blood Sword is then given to Michael Finnegan along with scroll of the thirteen, who then goes on a search of balance between stone of Ember and Glacier. The sword is a reason why Finnegan started to learn the way of katana.
