[b]Weapon Name:[/b] The Bleeding Edge

[b]Weapon Type:[/b] Longsword

[b]Physical Description:[/b] A rather irregular longsword, the Bleeding Edge is a far cry from its name and weapons like Ruby's scythe. It looks [i]old[/i], more like something you'd see rusting on a museum shelf than a weapon actually used. The blade looks incredibly sharp, to be sure, but small dings and dents line the sides and edge. The guard appears to have been once a beautiful piece of craftsmanship but has been battered into a mere dark shadow of its old glory. Only the handle remains clean and beautiful, an emerald set in the gold pommel, next to an ancient Dust slot. It looks perpetually bloodstained, as though the metal blade has permanently absorbed the vital fluids of those it has cut.

[b]Capabilities:[/b] The Bleeding Edge contains a practically unlimited amount of an extremely rare kind of Dust in its blade. A very small amount of it is able to heal nearly any wound, so long as it has enough of a required catalyst to do so–specifically, human blood. The stigma attached to the Bleeding Edge from this requirement is as large as can be expected.

Additionally, the edge of the weapon is capable of unleashing long range slashes of fire if a custom Dust cartridge is loaded in the pommel.

[b]Best Known For:[/b] The Bleeding Edge is relatively unknown to the average citizen of Vale, but to scholars of history there is no greater treasure. Forged in ancient times from a sample of metal bonded with extraordinarily stable Dust, the weapon is the oldest Dust-powered blade in the world of Vale–and is rumored to be the sword that inspired humanity’s first use of Dust. 

[b]History:[/b] After being forged in ancient times and being used to combat the Grimm, the Bleeding Edge has had a long and bloodstained history. Ancient cultures used the bloodstained blade as a sacrificial knife, seeking to appease the gods or drive out the demons that they believed possessed Grimm, and many warlords sought to make the ancient weapon theirs–not for its own power, but for the symbolism of holding the most murderous weapon known to man. More innocents have perished by the Bleeding Edge than any other weapon in history, and its use has claimed more swordsmen than previously thought imaginable.

And every kill has only made it bloodier and more wanted. At some point, someone replaced the old handle, allowing the ancient Dust mechanism to accept more modern cartridges. But the bloody blade is still the same, stained with the lives of countless victims.
