Just an idle thought, if you are thinking about this inscription meaning "Mr." then Del Señor Poderoso or Señor Todopoderoso to me would make more sense. As a reference to The Lord Almighty. When I saw it my mind automatically went to of the south meaning.

A very interesting thought. If only they could talk.

Cold steel certainly gives one the power to take life like God, at the same time a reminder to the owner to treat it's use prudence and respect.
