Rixot's Keen
From Diablo Wiki
Rixot's Keen is a unique sword from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
One of the earliest unique items, Rixot's Keen deals very little damage, and has a very low required level. Although its bonuses may seem great, including doubling damage and an increased chance of Crushing Blow, these bonuses are nixed by the fact that Rixot's Keen simply cannot dish out the damage an Exceptional, Elite, or even higher level Normal unique sword could.
Still, for very early in the game (perhaps Act I on Normal mode) Rixot's Keen is enough to get most physical fighters by. Of course, the only problem there is that many players are not lucky to find unique items at all that early in the game, so finding Rixot's Keen in a time of game where it would be useful is difficult indeed.
As short swords go, Rixot's Keen's enhanced minimum damage and damage in general is quite good. Although it is possible to use a Horadric Cube recipe to upgrade Rixot's Keen into a Gladius, the runes and items required are considered too high value to waste on it, and would probably be better off used on another item that's more useful.
