Leras refers to the knife as an "old friend," and hasn't drawn it in millennia,{{msh ref|2|3}} which may suggest it is from [[Yolen]] and predates the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]].

When [[Vin]] and [[Elend Venture]] arrived at the [[Well of Ascension]], [[Kelsier]] suggested that Leras stab Elend with the knife to try to encourage Vin to use the power of the Well to heal Elend rather than accidentally release it to [[Ruin]]. When, as a result of [[Preservation]]'s influence on his mind, Leras proved unable to do so, Kelsier grabed his arm and slashed the knife across Elend's stomach.{{msh ref|2|3}} Despite his inability to use the weapon, Leras still reached for it when Kelsier made a fist at him.{{msh ref|1|1}} Leras does not need to actually draw the knife; he instead reaches for it on his belt, after which his hand shimmers and then the knife appears.{{msh ref|2|3}}

It is unclear what happened to the knife after Leras's death. His body appeared in the ash outside [[Fadrex City]];{{epigraph ref|mb3|56}} it is possible the knife was with that corpse. If that is the case, it may well be gone, as [[Sazed]] did not do anything with the bodies of [[Ati]] and Leras during [[Final Ascension|his Ascension]].{{wob ref|1117}}
