And you get the Dagger of Lex for free with it! See the inlaid mother-of-pearl... underneath the black oozing goo?
Buffy Summers[src]

Dagger of Lex was one of the many artifacts available for purchase at the Magic Box. It was eventually used to open the Seal of Danzalthar by Andrew Wells.

History

While working at the magic shop, Buffy Summers used the dagger to stab a Living Mummy Hand, as she tried to obtain it for a customer. Stabbing the artifact, though, made her fail to satisfy the costumer and reset the time, as she was being tested by the Trio. In her second attempt, she used the dagger again and cut off its fingers, although still without success.[1]

In 2003, Andrew Wells got possession of the dagger, then with runes added to the blade and the mother of pearl absent from the handle. It was also engraved in the same language as on the Seal of Danzalthar. The inscription read "The blood which I spill I consecrate to the oldest evil". The First Evil, in the form of Warren Mears, told Andrew to "Drive the words deep into him", so he used it to kill Jonathan Levinson on the Seal.[2]

After the murder, Andrew washed off the blood and left the knife in the cutlery drawer of Buffy's home, explaining that she didn't have any steak knives. Buffy used it to threaten Andrew to get him to confess and repent from the murder of his friend, so his tears would close the Seal again.[3]

The original knife.

  • The screen used knife was purchased from a catalog, as were many of the knives and weapons on the show, and it had the original red tassle removed. The handle was painted in sections for "Life Serial" with pearlescent nail polish to make it appear to be Mother of Pearl.[citation needed]
