If you're into personnel battle, this artifact is the neatest thing since the Varon-T Disruptor. It turns Kahless into an unstoppable juggernaut with 18 STRENGTH -- not that the number itself would matter much, as he can't be killed in personnel battle while the Sword is present. Kahless versus your opponent's entire shipful? No problem! Mortally wound one opponent, "lose" the battle (but not your Kahless), then repeat next turn.
Even if battle's not your plan, you may find a lot to like about the Sword. Unlike other equipment that only enhances one attribute, this artifact enhances all three. (Including INTEGRITY, for which no equipment-enhancer card exists.) Each Klingon with Honor present gets the bonus, resulting in an army of double-digit warriors!
