Okay, second guess, how about something like:

Virðibiti
Virðibítr

"Worth(y)-biter"? One recorded sword name Sómi means "honour",
which I suppose is people´s opinion about what is worthy. You can
find lots of great sword names here:

The Þulur are old lists of poetic words for things (heiti). Look
for the two lists sverða heiti & heiti á sverði "names of swords".
Another strategy might be to take a root meaning "worth" and attach
one of the endings common in sword names. E.g. virðing is a
feminine noun meaning "valuation, opinion, esteem, reputation,
honour", related to verðr "worthy"--would it be possible to make a
name like: Virðingr, Virðungr, Verðnir? I can't anything already
called that with Google. Or maybe a compound Verðhvati "worth-
sharp"; Verðbrimir (?something to do with surf/sea = blood?), -
askr "-ash", -hnefi "-fist", -gellir "-screamer?", -malmr "-
ore/metal", etc.
