He's a blacksmith and he made it.

But, he makes it for Governer who gifts it to Norrington. Norrington gives it to Will. Beckett takes it and and keeps it with him. Then, gives it to Norrington, Norrington stabs Davy Jones with it. He takes it and then, eventually stabs Will with it. He dies.

It comes full circle. I get that part. It's its journey i am wondering about.

I think it represents a sword

Just because something is used as a prop and is a common thing found in association with a character does not necessarily make it significant.

In Knives out, Rian Johnson intentionally wrote in the baseball as a metaphorical representation for the karmic retrobution of the character. The act of throwing the baseball comes full circle as part of the plot and mirrors the main theme of the story.

In Pirates, the sword is not used in any such way that is that deep. The sword he made is primarily used as an introduction to show that he is a blacksmith. The fact that he was stabbed by it is inconsequential. It wasn't used to carry out a narrative, to lead from scene to scene, as a metaphor for anything, nor was its use ironic to any degree. It doesn't have a story, or a significance to any of the characters in the movie that would help carry out a parallel theme.

I think you're thinking a bit too much about this one, personally.

This kinda makes sense.

Tia Delma does say a touch of destiny to him twice.

It was a ceremonial sword, too. Maybe it signifies new beginnings or ending of one this and beginning of another? That would make sense with the events too actually.

"This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life."

OP probably a conspiracy theorist as well

No one writing, directing or acting in those movies were concerned with symbolism or meaning.

Wait what

Richard Drysdale throws the baseball on Harlan's desk just to spite the dead Harlan. Blanc finds it outside then leaves in on a side table in the room they did the will-reading. Towards the end of the film, Linda finds the ball and places it back on her father's study. Where she finds the letter Richard discarded as blank shortly before throwing out the ball. That's how she finds out he's been cheating on her, leading to him getting a black eye, and probably a bad divorce (she made him sign a prenup) after the events of the movie.

Well I'll be damned.

I don't understand the comments, but I thought it was called the sword of destiny in the PotC fandom. When Calypso tells Will he has a touch of destiny about him, on re-watch I thought it was this sword she was foreseeing.

The sword doesn't't cause things to happen, it is just there throughout Will's journey. In the first movie it's clearly just something to connect Will with Norrington. Later they planned it such that Will will get killed by the same sword.
