i agree it would be kind of fitting for a great swordsman like him to have a ´legendary sword´, but he doesn´t need one. like the wikia contributor said a sword is as great as the person weilding it. besides, shanks has haki to protect his sword against heavy attacks that would shatter a normal weapon, so he could use a normal sword as well.
