Hi Bryan,
I for one have to agree. If you have a sword you should be able to have 
unlimited or nearly unlimited use with it. Over time it might get dull, 
but it wouldn't be like lost after the first swing.
However, I do here others suggestions that unlimited weapon usage could 
make the game slightly too easy. Most games have a set of checks and 
balances with combat. If you have bows and arrows your attacks are 
limited to the number of arrows in your inventory. If you have a gun 
like a magnum, shotgun, Uzi, machine gun, whatever your combat attacks 
are limited to the ammo on hand. So we need to find some sort of equal 
balance like that here.
Hmmm... Although, some games do have a few weapons that are unlimited. 
In Tomb Raider Lara's Pistil, I think it is a 38, has unlimited ammo. 
However, while you can shoot an endless amount of bullets the pistil is 
a very week weapon. The Shotgun is a powerful weapon, but you only 
pickup 10 or 12 shells at a time. So while powerful your ammo resupplies 
are limited to keep you from being too powerful.
