Re: sword blessing?
I suppose any blessing for a tool or object would suffice. Don't really know what you would curse them for unless you are giving them away, (or one of them?) There may be some sword specific blessings in shinto traditions, and other traditions where sword practice was part of everyday life. I am not familiar with those however.http://catcrowsnow.blogspot.com/
But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.

Re: sword blessing?
No cost is too high to high to make a sword supernaturally durable. I would like to do it, even if I have to spil my own blood for that.
Also, I would like to use a curse as a safety feature. I would like to design it to make the thief slit his own throat, wipe his blood, resheat it and put it back on it's stand.
In a fight, I would always rely on my Bujinkan training, rather than on magic.

I DO disagree about thieves stabbing themselves in the night, but I don't disagree with the actual act of owning a few swords.
Or maybe you should get off your butt and learn something. Asking about curses shows your foolishness. Good luck.

I quite enjoy fighting florentine (the italian method of fighting with two swords at once). It's good exercise, and a good skill to have.

My (main) sword is a katana forged from 1065 high carbon German steel, differentially hardened, a decent blade that cuts well and can block a blow.
I don't claim I'm a ninja, yet. I'm a Bujinkan practitioner and I'm training hard to become one. I just have no knowledge about magic.
I know how biology works, but I thought it could be overriden with a powerfull curse.

Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

While I have cursed before, I have never done anything quite like what you are asking for and I have never blessed a sword. But as far as blessings go, I do not see whay a simple one meant for any sort of thing (home, people, cooking pots) couldn't be slightly modified to include swords. Most people I know write their own spells, as they are very personal, and how it wiould be done would vary based on the tradition.http://catcrowsnow.blogspot.com/
