Honebami is a Wakizashi, so he's supposed to be the fastest if all your swords are the same level. Unless he's lower, then he won't attack first as they get a faster and stronger tendency to one-hit enemies as they grow in level.

+1 level = Speed boost is the case from observation. The stats don't change until reaching Toku (level 20 I'm guessing for Honebami).

You can increase their stats in Refinery, but I don't recommend doing so until they reach Toku, as they disappear once their stats are ranked up.
