Pure skill, no magic swords, no extra limbs:
Silver Samurai || Black Knight
Nightcrawler (Point deduction for having a tail that can hold a sword)
Spiral (Point deductions for having six arms)
Swordsman (Jacques)
Baron Zemo || Ra's Al Ghul
Swordsman (Strucker)
Katana || Collen Wing
Azrael || Blade || Deathstroke
Don't know enough about Shining Knight to place him. With all six arms Spiral is viaing for the top spot, and with his tail Nightcrawler has beat her in a sword duel.

Shinning Knight should be around the same as Black Knight. Shinning Knight is pretty skilled.
I only remember him from a few issues of 52 (I think) and some Seven Soldiers oneshots / minis. He seemed pretty good but I don't feel comfortable making a judgment on his skills on my limited experience with the character. 🙁
What are some good stories he's been in?
It occurs to me that I might be attributing Nightcrawler with something from the Wolverine and the X-Men animated series. I could have sworn it happened in one of the one shot anthologies in the recent years... but I can't find a Spiral appearance list that supports her appearing in one. 😮

I was thinking Nightmaster from Shadowpact. Justin would also be close to the top, IMO. 7 Soldiers was a good read.
Yeah, Nightmaster would be in the top with Black Knight and Silver Samurai.

That particular Shining Knight was introduced in Seven Soldiers. There's also an older one from back in the day.
