I always figured that it was one of the Forsaken who added some traps of their own to Callandor, hoping to hurt/kill Rand when he eventually went to fetch it.
This I totally agree with and I don't think that there's any way to determine who actually did it.
One of the reasons I suspect this is the fact that Rand sent Narishma there in the first place. Why would Rand not have gone himself? With traveling he could have done it near instantly. What would have happened if he had? Rand knew exactly where his traps were, so it seems likely that he would not have been all that cautious in removing those traps, why would he since he knew them so well. Odds are that Rand WOULD have triggered the forsaken traps in his haste and overconfidence.
Rand sent Narishima to fulfill part of the Karentheon Cycle, "Who draws it out shall follow after, What ahnd can grasp that fearful blade?"
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
