I'd have to say it was the Two-Handed Sword of Throwing, created by a combination of contemplation of failed magical research and a late-night viewing of Braveheart (wherein the protagonist at one point, in a single smooth motion, draws the claymore from its sheath across his back and throws it at an enemy, impaling them).

The party never learned what it did, because they didn't have any Identify spells or scrolls with them and for some reason nobody ever tried throwing the two-handed sword.
