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, [[reaper]]s, and regular [[Nephilim]] ([[Jack Kline]] being the product of an [[archangel]] makes him invulnerable to angel blades). It was revealed by [[Castiel]] that all angel blades have been touched by [[God]], whether God actually created them is unknown. An angel blade can also 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 [[Samandriel]] with one. It was shown in [[6.03 The Third Man]] that angel blades briefly give off a blue spark of light when they clash with one another.<ref name="six03">[[6.03 The Third Man]]</ref>

Although [[Uriel]] stated that the only thing capable of killing an [[angel]] is another angel, <ref name="four16" /> 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 [[EzekielGadreel]].<ref>[[9.01 I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here]]<name="nine01" /ref> [[Sam]] is later able to use Castiel's blade 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. <ref name="six18"[[6.18 Frontierland]]</ref> [[Meg]] is later able to use one to kill [[hellhound]]s, <ref name="eight14">[[8.14 Trial and Error]]</ref> [[Hester]] <ref name="seven21" /> and a demon with a blade.<ref name="eight17">[[8.17 Goodbye Stranger]]</ref>

In [[8.19 Taxi Driver]], it It is shown that an angel blade can kill a [[reaper]], as demonstrated when [[Crowley]] kills the rogue reaper [[Ajay]] with one of his angel blades. In <ref name="eight19">[[8.21 19 Taxi Driver]]</ref> The Great EscapistWinchesters have also been able to use angel blades to kill reapers<ref name="nine03" /> as well as Castiel.<ref name="twelve09">[[12.09 First Blood]]</ref> At one point, Crowley has a blade melted-down into [[Angel-Killing Bullets|bullets]] for [[Crowley's Gun|a gun]]. As long as the wound is fatal, the bullets work just as well as the blade itself. <ref name="eight21">[[8.21 The Great Escapist]]</ref> The [[Apocalypse World]] [[Bobby Singer (Apocalypse World)|Bobby Singer]] did something similar resulting in bullets and shotgun rounds capable of killing both angels and demons.<ref name="twelve23">[[12.23 All Along the Watchtower]]</ref>

In [[12During a fight with Lucifer, manages to stab him with an angel blade, but Lucifer is completely unharmed. He is similarly unharmed by being shot with a hundred bullets made from melted-down angel blades.23 All Along the Watchtower]], <ref name="twelve23" /> Castiel's later attempt to kill a weakened Lucifer with a standard an angel blade proved to the abdomen likewise failed, but it did cause him harm.<ref name="thirteen12">[[13.12 Various & Sundry Villains]]</ref> However, [[Asmodeus]] believed that archangels can only be killed with archangel bladesan angel blade to the heart could kill Lucifer in his weakened state though this was never tested. In <ref name="thirteen13">[[13.01 Lost 13 Devil's Bargain]]</ref> During an encounter with [[Raphael]], Dean and Found[[Bobby Singer]]attempted to attack the archangel by throwing an angel blade at him, but Raphael caught the blade before it could make contact.<ref name="six22">[[6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much]]</ref> An attempt by [[Miriam]]'s attempt to kill [[JackKline]] shows that [[nephilim]] sired by archangels are also immune to angel blades.<ref name="thirteen01">[[13.01 Lost and Found]]</ref> After absorbing the [[souls]] of [[Purgatory]] and declaring himself the new God, [[Castiel]] became completely immune to angel blades as he was no longer a normal angel.<ref name="six22" /> He regained this weakness after returning the souls to Purgatory and becoming a regular angel again.

The power Angel blades can kill at least some species of each angel blade appears to vary upon the rank of the angel who owns itmonsters. When an [[angel]] is killed by this weapon, they explode with an intense white light and their wings and halo are burned like ash onto the area where their body lies. Archangels may only be vulnerable to archangel blades, and are immune to regular angel blades. However, [[Dean]] and [[Bobby]] attempt Castiel was able to kill a [[Raphaelwerewolf]] with an [[angel]] blade in [[6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much]], which fails when he grabs it before it hits anythingto the heart during a regular hunt. [[Kali]] refers to [[Gabriel]]'s blade as <ref name="[[Archangel Blade|an archangel's blade]].thirteen23" Gabriel's blade was capable of killing >[[archangels]], including himself13.
