Could anyone point me in the right direction, because I cannot find it.

There are about two items in the game that grant an initiative bonus, like the "rod of alertness".

There is the feat, of course, "improved initiative"; That applies to anything you do at all, but has nothing to do with a weapon enchantment.

Mayhaps you read in in some splatbook. (I specify, a non-WotC splatbook, none of which has one either, or I'd have read about it ad-nauseum here on the boards).

I wouldn't rule out the idea that read a PrC from WotC with some bonus, but I wouldn't know. Core only. (3.5).

Good Gaming

There are actually about 10 items, in various D&D books that add to initiative, and some weapon enhancements, such as "Eager" and "Burning", all of which are found in official D&D WotC accessories (Arms and Equipment Guide, Ebberon Campaign Setting, etc.)

However, on the Character Optimization boards I saw mention of one that was simple called "Initiative". You may be right, this could be a wild goose chase, but over there they know the rules and content of D&D better than anyone.
