That's the cover of Shadow and Claw, with a pretty good picture.  TE  
is actually a copy of a common medieval executioner's sword, like this  
one:

Except of course it has the mercury channel, which I ran by some  
swordsmith friends of mine who told me that it wouldn't be possible to  
actually make a mercury channel and fill it with mercury and have the  
sword retain enough strength.  The spine of the sword is actually what  
gives it its strength.
