the Tethered Quickblade

Weapon This sword has a braided leather cord attached to its handle. The other end of the cord has a small loop in the end. There is a hole near the point of the sword such that the bearer can loop the cord through and wear as a sling. Using an action, the bearer can strap the cord to their wrist such that it cannot be disarmed. A bonus action is all that is required to untether.   The bearer of this sword gets a +1 bonus to all initiative rolls. As long as the bearer is first in initiative order, their speed is increased by 5 feet.   Rapier, slashing damage, 1d8 Varies
