To note, in the Relic quest lines, it's specifically stated that the guy is making copies of the item, at least that was what I caught when I did it last time through. You get the original, however it's so badly damaged, it cannot be restored so he makes you replica of it. At least that was how it read from my perspective.
Even if I misinterpreted it, that's still an angle any RPer can use if they want their relic weapon to be related to that weapon directly - it's not the Curtana, but a replica that has been imbued with similar powers via an ungodly amount of work and smithing.
As mentioned, the other angle I've seen is that the relic weapon is not even a Curtana, but another powerful sword that was acquired by the wielder through some sort of story, usually one on par or more difficult than the A Relic Reborn quest.
Cool real world relations though! For the ones that have some, anyway. I think the Veil of Wiyu might have something in Chinese or Japanese Mythology, but I'm not 100% sure.
