An eighteen inch golden orichalcum blade tapers from the point into a very flat diamond shape where it meets the very small guard. The five distinct colors of the woven cord handle seem to be only slightly less luminous than the blade. The blade seems unnaturally balanced, and seems to be able to balance at almost any point.

Once a thread is woven to the dagger the pulse of the cords can be felt on the hand. Like a heartbeat from within the dagger. As the blade passes through the air when thrown, faint whispers of encouragement can be heard.
