The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' ("blade of mercy") is a weapon usually in the form of a long dagger or short sword carried by the [[Legio Custodes]], and later [[Adeptus Custodes]]{{fn|2}}, as a symbol of the ''Magisterium Lex Ultima'' which places them above all law except the direct authority of the [[Emperor of Mankind]]. Designed to deliver a single killing thrust, they may be used to carry out a death sentence or to euthanise a grievously wounded warrior.{{fn|1}}
