Adjusting Rotation of Instantiated Objects

I have a sword in a game. When you click on the sword, it deletes and creates another one in your hand. It does this correctly but with a random rotation. How do I fix this?

 #pragma strict
 
 var hand : GameObject;
 var sword : Transform;
 
 
 
 
 
 function OnMouseUp()
 {    
     
     
     
     Destroy(gameObject);
     var clone = Instantiate(sword, hand.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
     clone.transform.parent = hand.transform;
     Debug.Log("The Sword is in your Inventory");
     WaitForSeconds(1);
 
 }

Is just a lot more easier to already have it there and just set to invisible ..instead of instantiating others. It doesn't impact the performance a lot neither (unless you have thousands of swords ).

I agree with @Crystalline that having the sword in place and just making it visible is a nice way to go. If you want to handle it your way:

In the editor temporarily place a sword in the hand correctly.
Make the sword a child of the hand.
Record the rotation in the Inspector. This is the local rotation...that is the rotation relative to the parent.
Between lines 17 and 18 insert:

clone.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler([Insert recorded values here]);
