A well made Sword with an A-rank attack rating.
And if I remember correctly, an A-rank attack is the equivalent to the power of a C rank noble phantasm (generally, I think I read this before the wiki went down in 2009?).
So the sword would still be beastly if handed to someone else, it just wouldn't be anywhere near as strong as the real one that Saber uses.
Edit: I am confused at what you guys consider "use". Do you mean activating the NP or just plain swinging it around.
If you mean activating it, then yeah. Saber is probably the only one that can use it without fucking themselves up.
If you are talking about just swinging it about, that is a different story.

That's not how it works. It's just a sharp, really tough sword when it's not activated. The attack rating (STR) comes from the fact that Saber's swings are really strong, and she's still only got B under Shirou and Kiritsugu.
Also, not just without fucking themselves up, she's literally the only one who can use it (and Shirou's the only one who can use the traced version). The Noble Phantasm is the activated ability. The sword is just a sword.
