The backsword is one of the two special items that can be obtained from the box edition of Puzzle Pirates.

This item cannot be traded or placed in a trade window (for example, to show a friend the drop pattern). Also the backsword cannot be placed in a sword rack. It does not age and cannot be wagered in a skellie or zombie fight. If you do not have the box edition, you may never own a backsword. If you do own the box edition, you can only get one backsword per pirate and you forfeit the chance to get a backsword with a particular pirate if you choose the savvy hat.

According to Cleaver, the backsword's drop pattern is just okay.

To claim the backsword, register the key code from your box edition of Puzzle Pirates on the account page. From then on, any pirates created under your account will have a new mission called "Claim your inheritance." Select that mission and follow the instructions to claim either the backsword or savvy hat. When the backsword is selected, a randomly-colored backsword is placed in your Booty panel.
