==Weapon Properties==
The weapon could be described as a long dagger or a short sword. It can be used to kill [[angel]]s, [[demon]]s, [[hellhound]]s and [[archangel]]s. It has not been revealed how an angel creates a blade. It also can drain an angel of their power, as shown with [[Castiel]] when he is wounded by [[Rachel]]'s blade, which causes him to lose most of his angelic power. It is also an efficient tool for torturing an angel as shown when [[Crowley]] tortures [[SamandirielSamandriel]] with one.
Although [[Uriel]] stated that the only thing capable of killing an [[angel]] is another angel, it seems that the blades are still effective in the hands of a human or [[demon]]. [[Castiel]] gives his blade to the Winchesters to use on [[Anna]],<ref name="five13">[[5.13 The Song Remains the Same]]</ref> and [[Dean Winchester]] kills [[Zachariah]] with one as well<ref name="five18">[[5.18 Point of No Return]]</ref> and later another angel to save [[Ezekiel]].<ref>[[9.01 I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here]]</ref> [[Sam]] is later able to use Castiel's sword to kill two [[demon]]s.<ref name="eight10">[[8.10 Torn and Frayed]]</ref> During an angelic fight, Rachel manages to pierce Castiel in the chest with her blade, but he survives, and he kills her. [[Meg]] is later able to use one to kill [[hellhound]]s, [[Hester]] and a demon.
When [[Hester]] orders [[Inias]] to attack her, [[Meg]] reveals that she has acquired one of these swords and slashes Inias' palm with it. Before the situation can deteriorate too far, [[Dean]] [[Angel Banishing Sigil|banishes]] the [[angel]]s and Meg reveals that she got the sword as "a lot of angels have died this year," but is cut off by [[Kevin Tran]] before she can explain further. After finding the group, [[Hester]] attacks [[Castiel]] and beats him badly while holding a sword in her grasp. As she prepares to kill him with her sword, Meg stabs Hester from behind with the sword she acquired, killing her.

===[[8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin]]===
[[Crowley]] has acquired one of these swords and uses it to torture the locations of the future [[prophet]]s out of [[SamandirielSamandriel]]. He eventually stops the torture when he learns the next generation of prophets hasn't been born yet, but doesn't kill Samadiriel Samadriel as he may still be useful.
When confronting Crowley, [[Castiel]] draws his angel blade to use on the [[demon]] and Crowley summons his own, believing that in Castiel's weakened state he doesn't stand a chance against him. Holding the sword, Castiel starts to use his powers on Crowley who believes he is bluffing but ultimately flees instead of attacking, getting only half of the [[Tablets|demon tablet]] as Castiel breaks it and gets the other half.
When invading [[Crowley]]'s base, [[Castiel]] gives his angel blade to [[Sam]], telling him it can kill [[demon]]s too. While [[Dean]] distracts a demon, Sam stabs it from behind with the sword, killing it. He later kills another demon with the sword after it attacks him. Sam gets attacked by a third demon, but is unable to break free and stab it with the sword, but Dean kills it with [[Ruby's Knife]]. After seeing how weakened Castiel is by the [[Enochian]] symbols in the building, Sam gives him back his sword to protect himself with.
Later, on [[Naomi]]'s orders, Castiel stabs and kills [[SamandirielSamandriel]] with his sword for being a traitor for revealing the existence of the [[Tablets|angel tablet]].
