Help with Sword Translation

I just bought a sword today and it had some chinese charaters on it. I'm pretty sure it's Mandarin. I did some research on each character to find out what it ment and this is what I came up with.

1- now; today
2- old, classic, ancient
3- have, own, possess; exist
4- spirit, god, supernatural being
5- to receive (from superior); to offer; to revere
6- purpose, will, determination
7- scholar, gentleman; soldier

That is going from the top character to the bottom one. And here is a picture of it.

Can you please help me to make a sentence out of it? Haha. I can get the basic idea but I'd like to fill in the blanks. Thanks!

like this one?
there was a film starred by tom cruz,named last samurai.
it probably means that the one who can surpass the tradition deserve this sword.traditonally,it implies that the soldier should be loyal to his king and die for his country.

The general who performs Mr.Ken Watanabe in movie " The Last Samurai" resonates to Japanese chivalry(武士道/BUSHIDO), and it is being written, "今古有神奉志士" as well as the signature carved for the sword initiated into Tom Cruise who challenges the battle.
I hear, the meaning of "今古有神奉志士" is " I am the sword of the one who brings harmony between the old's and the new's " that exists in
the dialog of Mr.Ken Watanabe .
I am not sure if it is really an original text in the movie or taken from some ancient Japanese text(禅/ZEN).

今古有神奉志士is「我は古きと新しきに和を もたらせし者の刀なり」(in Japanese)
