A truly old angel would not have started as a Cherub of the Sword, but
rather as a Cherub of Purity. Perhaps the problem was that Uriel didn't
listen to the Angel of the Hilt and was cut by his own efforts. A sharp
piece of metal without a hilt isn't a sword, so this Angel would be very
valued by Lawrence.

The angel that may have a more interesting history is the Angel of the
Scabbard. Lawrence has the Scabbard attunement(?) but in many ways
that is method of hiding a weapon. What does Lawrence feel about putting
away a sword at appropriate times? I *think* the most likely Choir for the
Angel of the Scabbard is an Elohite. Seraph, Cherub, Malakite and
Mercurian are also possibilities. I would expect this angel to have good
relations with Michael, David and maybe Novalis oddly enough.

I doubt that the differences between a Scabbard (for swords and sabres) 
and Sheath (for knives, dirks and daggers) would be wide enough to have 
them as different angelic words.

No idea on Demonic equivalents.
