To be honest, in volume 3 (probably even before that, I haven't checked), Crocea Mors' blade has scratches and chips missing out of it, so it wasn't actually super well-off. Huh. Y'know, maybe one reason Jaune was such a shitty fighter is because his sword wasn't as sharp as it should've been. It still had enough of an edge to cut things if he put enough force behind it and swung it fast enough, but it wasn't the best it could be anymore.

So, its upgrade in the beginning of volume 4 was mostly to remake the blade and make aesthetic changes using Pyrrha's shield and circlet. If Crocea Mors is famous, it's certainly harder to recognize now, though he did still leave the Arc rainbow on the shield.
