Annabeth's Knife

"... The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap..."

- The Great Prophecy referring to Annabeth's knife

Annabeth's Knife is Annabeth's main weapon, and she is very skilled in using it. She always uses it, as it was a gift from Luke when she was seven.

History
Annabeth's knife was given to her by Luke to replace the hammer she was using when they first met years ago. Annabeth was only seven years old at the time, while Luke was fourteen and Thalia was twelve. Luke made a promise to Annabeth that he would be there for her when he gave her the knife so that she could defend herself from monsters that were chasing them. It is her weapon of choice because when Luke gave it to her, he told her that only the fastest and cleverest of warriors could wield the weapon.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Annabeth is very skilled with the knife, although she has been trained to wield a sword as well. When Luke betrayed her and joined Kronos at the end of The Lightning Thief, it became cursed because of his broken promise. It is also the knife that Luke used to kill himself in The Last Olympian, by stabbing himself in his Achilles Heel (which was under his left arm), in order to disable Kronos' Titan spirit in his body so that Olympus could survive and that the Western Civilization could live on.



The Great Prophecy
It is the cursed blade of The Great Prophecy, as Luke broke the promise he had made to Annabeth many years ago. It was broken when he joined Kronos, betraying Annabeth and Thalia.
