==Trivia==
* Writer [[Robbie Thompson]] revealed on Twitter that he designed the look of the First Blade, saying:
::"When I pitched I thought it'd be helpful to draw The 1st Blade. Despite this artwork they went for it."
* When Dean kills a normal demon with the First Blade, he dies with the same effect as if he was killed by [[Ruby's knife]] or an [[angel swordblade]]. However, when Dean kills [[Abaddon]], the effect is as if she was smote by an angel. The effect it had when killing [[Cain]] was not shown, but there seemed to be a clap of thunder when Cain died.
