'''Vyre's knife''' is a golden, or yellowish-white, blade, with a sapphire set into the pommel, used to kill the [[Herald]] [[Jezrien]].{{book ref|sa3|121}}
==History==
The circumstances of the knife's creation are unknown. It was given by the [[Fused]] [[Hnanan]] to [[Moash]], who then used it to kill Jezrien.{{book ref|sa3|121}} The fate of the knife following Jezrien's death is also unknown.
==Mechanics==
The knife appears to be a method to permanently kill a Herald, rather than simply returning them to [[Braize]] as a "conventional" death would. [[Shalash]], who was able to feel her father's death, instantly distinguishes it from previous deaths. If he was killed conventionally she would still have been able to sense her father's soul, but in this circumstance she could not.{{book ref|sa3|121}} This process operates under similar principles to the [[Scadrian]] manifestation of Investiture known as [[Hemalurgy]], where practitioners are able to steal part of an individual's [[spiritweb]] using metal spikes.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} It is a matter of debate among cosmere philosophers whether this is in fact Hemalurgy or rather a related, but distinct, phenomenon.{{wob ref|8665|''Oathbringer'' London signing|date=2017-22-28}}
The sapphire in the knife's hilt is specifically for Jezrien.{{wob ref|8798|''Oathbringer'' Glasgow signing|date=2017-12-02}} Whether the use of that specific [[polestone]] is mechanically relevant or only symbolic is unknown.

“Was, was, was . . .” The man started to tremble violently, his eyes opening wide. “Was . . . no. No, what is this death? What is this death!”
The man trembled for a moment more, then jerked once, going motionless. When Moash pulled the yellow-white knife free, it trailed dark smoke and left a blackened wound. The large sapphire at the pommel took on a subdued glow.
