And thus we are reminded that once again, this is a Yoko Taro work.
We will only know if the weapon description mentions that it, in order, was summoned by an evil knight, sharpened upon the skulls of the innocent, and finally embedded into said knight, where his malice and wrath became imprinted on the blade, turning whoever wields it, in time, into a bloodthirsty monster.

Taro's never that straightforward "evil". If anything, the knight was a good knight who was consumed by the guilt of killing in an eternal war, and when he tried to kill himself he discovered that the sword could only kill the innocent and thus would no longer harm him, at which point he became a monster.
