'''Vyre's knife''' is a bright golden or yellowish-white blade with a sapphire set into the pommel, used to kill the [[Herald]] [[Jezrien]] and trap his soul so that he couldn't be reborn.{{book ref|sa3|121}} The metal of the knife is described as unusually bright.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
 
The knife may be made out of [[Odium]]'s [[Metallic Arts#The God Metals|god metal]], due to its similar coloring to that often associated with the Shard.{{book ref|sa3|1}}
 
== History ==
The knife is a method to kill a Herald and trap their soul, preventing the Herald from returning to [[Braize]] as a "conventional" death would.{{wob ref|12261}} Jezrien, while initially in a drunken stupor, quickly realizes that something about this death is different and claims to feel the knife drawing something from him into itself. [[Shalash]] likewise instantly distinguishes it from previous deaths, as she could no longer sense Jezrien's soul.{{book ref|sa3|121}} The knife "traps" the soul so it can't be reborn.{{wob ref|12261}} This process operates under similar principles to the [[Scadrian]] manifestation of [[Investiture]] known as [[Hemalurgy]],{{wob ref|8774}} where practitioners are able to steal part of an individual's [[spiritweb]] using metal spikes.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} It would cause debate among [[cosmere]] philosophers whether the knife's magical properties are in fact Hemalurgy or rather a related, but distinct, phenomenon.{{wob ref|8665}}

== Theories ==
{{theory}}
It has been theorized that the knife is made of Odium's [[Metallic Arts#The God Metals|god metal]], citing its golden/yellowish-white color and the fact that Odium often manifests as a figure in gold and white and his power is often perceived as a golden light.{{book ref|sa3|1}} The metal of the knife is described as unusually bright.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Odium is active on Roshar when the knife first appears in the possession of one of his direct servants, and it is used for a task that Odium specifically requests.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
