It's just a knife.
Okay, it's not just a knife. It's a symbol of identity, it's a tool of survival, it's a focus and a question and an answer.
But it's still just a knife. I mean... it's not a special knife. Except that it's special to me, I suppose. I skinned a bear with that knife. I used that knife to cut my way out of a silverweb nest. That was the knife I had when the Sparrowhawks won the pennant. But it's not...
It's not made of anything special, I guess, is what I'm saying. It's a simple, boring, metal knife. It has a sharp side, and a dull side. It has a worn-out rope grip. it has a scratch down the side from an Ahamkara tooth. Some fool was wearing it on a necklace. Didn't do him much good, but it wasn't great for the knife.
But I digress. It's not an iridium blade, or an arc-charged stunner or a high-frequency vibro-blade. It's just... a knife. It's my knife. My trusty, old, rusty knife.
And it cuts through the enemies of Earth as though they are butter. So my question is this, Warlock... where is your knife?
