Item from The First Law by Joe Abercrombie
The Maker's sword — forged by Kanedias himself, capable of cutting through anything including the barriers between the living and the dead, a blade that defines the word 'overkill.'
The Divider is what happens when a god makes a sword — it cuts everything, including things that shouldn't be cuttable. The barriers between worlds, the defenses of other Magi, the bodies of Eaters — nothing withstands the Maker's blade. It's the ultimate weapon in a world where 'ultimate weapon' is Bayaz's favorite concept. The sword represents the Maker's philosophy distilled into steel: if you can't solve a problem, you haven't cut deep enough.
A massive, dark-bladed sword of otherworldly craftsmanship — too well-made to be human work, too heavy for most people to lift. The blade seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. Its edge never dulls because it was never really physical to begin with.
