The damage of Classic Sword will vary from 25-40 damage. This will allow you to swing 3-4 times before your opponent dies, without the Capsule of Vitae.

The swing rate is 0.8 seconds. Having this swing rate doesn't allow you to spam it well, time and land those hits to allow a flawless victory.

Important Information
You have to equip the Classic Sword by clicking Loadouts in the bottom left corner, clicking Swordsman in Classes, then reset. After you respawn, the Classic Sword will be in your toolbar.

The sword has a unique passive called "Backstab". This passive is meant for small bladed objects such as a dagger, this sword is an exclusion from that. Backstab deals 1.75x more damage when you attack the behind of a player. This can result in 2 swing kills if you're lucky. All melees have a random chance to have a critical swing. If you are very lucky, you can deal major damage, however this isn't enough to kill in one swing.

Critical Damage and Chance are universal, meaning they go on all melees. The damage is multiplied by 1.2x and the chance is a "1/25 chance" according to bandwaffles, which is a 4% chance.
