Cold Iron Vanquisher VS Leviathan Blade which is stronger
I think Civ is better then lev cuz first the charge hit knock back does not make it go far away and lev does which make the monsters hit you team mates and second if you have Graviton Vortex and CIV does times 3 the charge damage if the monster is in range which means if the monster does not go far away it does times 3 the charge damage and lev make a huge knock back which is hard for the times 3 charge attack.
Now you decide :D :D
There have been many threads on this topic. Use Google (not the forum search function) to search for "spiral knights leviathan cold iron vanquisher" (without the quotes), and you should find them. My own answer is here.
There's pretty much never a reason to use CIV. Elemental weapons always outshine it, and if you're fighting gremlins/beasts, that's why you have TWO weapon slots.
Although both Levi and CIV are weak...Gunners and bombers use them because they deal normal damage.
Levi`s charge is better if you play solo because if you`re in party it can throw enemies to other party members,while CIV has a "friendly" charge (poor knockback).
While Levi`s charge hits the enemy 1 time (if it`s not cornered), CIV can hit 2-3 times with its charge,which means you will kill the enemies faster.
As I said-both are weak :( I choosed CIV because its better to deal good damage vs Undead (its NORMAL dmg weapon) and low damage to all other monsters than to deal average (low,compared to other swords) dmg to all enemies...

Leviathan is "Stronger". It has a higher base damage.
Cold iron is more "Situational." It has a lower base damage, but the charge attack is team friendly and may hit more than once on non-stationary enemies, effectively making it a better DPS weapon if you are charge reliant.
