On a side note, it is one of the two objects I have ever run across that I sensed an aura from. I don't typically consider myself "sensitive" in that way; just my luck and both objects struck me as being evil.
I don't doubt you have felt the swords aura. Though most people who aren't sensitive tend to explain auras as evil. It's natural, to experience something which shouldn't have any energies about it, suddenly having one. It is essentially an affront to your societal raisings.
I would examine it from the perspective of it simply having a definable aura for you to experience. Interesting in any respect.
