With regards to the sword, from my observation it appeared the sword was newish tech that just came about within the past few years in the time frame of the movie, as Raleigh seemed unaware of it when Mako used it and he was a seasoned mark III pilot. Also, the Kaiju that were sent in were designed to learn humanities attack strategies, so perhaps the powers that be wanted to keep the sword a secret from the Kaiju hive mind and have it be sort of a last resort.
Again just my opinion from what I've read and saw. What I can't figure out is why they didn't combine a synergy of forces to defeat the Kaiju, like combining air support with the ground Jaegers. I think this would have been much more effective and safer.
