__Description:__ The signature weapon of Calixis' secretive Ghostclaw Fraternity, this slightly curved, sleek sword is manufactured using only highest quality adamantite alloys, and unconfirmed though persistant rumors state they are actually forged on the Lathes during one of the rare gravitational overlap periods. The exact method of forging and folding, also called foldforging on the Lathes, leaves the weapon exceedingly sharp and includes monofilament treatment of the single-edged blade, making for remarkable penetration and cutting potential. Each of these swords is a singular piece of art, and whilst the slightly more common blades handed out to the Fraternity's assassins might be identical to each other, the mastercrafted variants reserved for higher ranking guild members indeed often sport individualized gravures and other special qualities.

The weapon comes together with a matt black scabbard intended to be strapped to the wielder's back. The paramagnetic mantling on the weapon's guard is aligned to the metallic locket, preventing the blade from unintentionally leaving the scabbard even if it is being held upside down. If the hilt is subjected to pressure - such as from the grip of a human hand - the artificial paramagnetic field becomes inactive and the blade can easily be removed from the sheath.
