If you're looking to understand the name by its meaning, why not Sword Menace Russet Flame? Using 錆 in its meaning as a color rather than as, well, rust. Could also replace Russet with Auburn, if you wish, but whatever. Since russet sounds close to rust, I thought it would go well with the bloody imagery (a sword rusts if you don't clean the blood off of it).

As for Kichi, during the times things are written during his PoV, he refers to himself as "onore" which has the double meaning of "axe". So his title isn't really that silly if you think of the "axe" as Kichi himself. One of his skills' names (when he ranks up to Minotaur) is actually referring to how Kichi personifies his weapon of choice.
