[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 5864961, member: 1861"] Yeah, doesn't actually say that it has to be Cold Iron in the descriptor or in the template system. The item is another template, cheaper than adding Finesse as a feat, and the average damage output can be improved by adding a +1 or allowing for an 'enhanced' Feycrafting at a slightly higher price. So again, the item would be 1d4 + 1d6 + 5 + 3 or 14 if a +3 CEB, or the same if you decided to allow for an improved Feycrafting but you now have a +4 weapon instead of a +5. The item can also be silvered as there is no pre-req in Feycrafting. Figure in the feycrafting 1.5k, the original cost of the echoblade (knock it off as included in the item description as a +1 weapon), silvering of 20gp, and the item is 52k. Still far below a +6 weapon. And that's pie-in-the-sky unoptimized form of the weapon, providing for a +3 enhancement. With your stylized version of the blade? You're working all within the Enhancement system, so the current item here is a +5 with some additional juice. If you believe the item you have is a +6 then go ahead... Mine will increase 1 damage per 2 levels, and provides the use of Bardic Music rather than using that ol' 2nd level spell slot. Leaves you free to use Cat's Grace to improve your to-hit rather than improving your damage, blur to provide concealment, etc, making you actually a better 'front-liner' with this item, and bypassing more high-level DRs unless you're fighting a load of Fey. Oh, and with all of that alleged fanciness you have there? I still have room for an additional +1, so let us add Frost (lets call it a Winter Court weapon). Later on I still have points to burn. As I said, your item is not very good, and could actually be much better with just a few peeks into the available material, and scaleable, with better possibilities for enhancement due to enhancement bonuses increasing in effect.
