Item from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
A meteorite-silver blade carried by witchers — essential for fighting creatures vulnerable to silver.
Every witcher carries two swords: steel for humans, silver for monsters. The silver sword is the iconic tool of the trade — a blade forged from meteorite silver, lighter than it looks, with runes etched along the fuller that react to the presence of cursed or magical beings. It's not actually pure silver (that would be too soft), but an alloy that holds an edge while carrying silver's supernatural properties. A witcher without his silver sword is like a surgeon without a scalpel — technically still dangerous, but working at a serious disadvantage.
