Soul Ripper, the jet black katana

Soul Ripper, the jet black katana <red glow>

Description:	This katana is the legendary weapon of Akira that kept him alive for many thousands of years. It is a normal sized blade, about three feet in length. Looking at, you can tell that is in an extremely old weapon, but is still in perfect shape. It is made of some strange black metal that is very cold to the touch. It has the name "Soul Ripper" etched into the blade. It is rumored that one can rip souls from corpses; this may be how the katana kept Akira alive--but no one has lived long enough to tell about it.
