History

The Vorpal Sword is an enchanted weapon that kills anything with a single cut. It was used most notably by Boy Blue during his infiltration of the Homelands. In one swipe, he cut down each of the Adversary's forces, eventually confronting the Adversary himself.

Bufkin the flying monkey more recently used the blade to slay Baba Yaga, who was trapped with him in the magically relocated business office.

Notes

The Vorpal Blade makes the distinct sound "Snicker-Snack!" with each strike.
