I myself am a bastard, and I know who my father is.
Bastard just means born out of wedlock, or when talking about swords it means can be wielded in either one hand or two.

The sword was forged out of wedlock. Sad story, too, mother never wanted him, a constant reminder that his father was a rapier. Just couldn't deal with a constant memento of that around.

You actually asked the sword to confirm this or did you just assume that the poor thing knows?
Also, I thought Bastard meant that your parents weren't married, not that you didn't know who your father was.
