According to a rumor, Toriyama initially gave Future Trunks a sword due to 19 & 20 being the ones who were originally going to terrorise the future; and since they could absorb ki, Future Trunks needed a way to circumvent their ability by avoiding hand-to-hand / ki blast based combat. However, when Toriyama decided to switch to 17 & 18 who couldn't absorb ki the sword didn't have a story purpose anymore thus it was quickly broken and not used anymore in the Cell arc. Is there any truth to this?

Well, 19 and 20 were originally the only Androids, but I'm not 100% sure that's the sole reason for the sword. I've yet to see anything on that myself, but it's possible.
