Primarch's Edge
The Primarch’s Edge is an Astartes Combat Knife of the Mortifactors Chapter. A venerable combat knife, legend has it was first drawn into service by Primarch Roboute Guilliman. It is unknown how the Mortifactors first came into the keeping of this relic, but their most cunning armourers have bent all their skill into preserving it unblemished through the long years since they received it. Eventually, the Chapter came into conflict with more traditional Chapters descended from the Ultramarines over the keeping of their Primarch's relic, in shrines deviating from the Codex Astartes. The Ultramarines eventually interceded to quell the strife among their Successor Chapters, and the Lord of Macragge demanded an end to the controversy. To avoid either surrendering the relic or denying their Battle-Brothers, the Primarch’s Edge was granted to Watch Fortress Erioch for safekeeping on behalf of the Chapter.[1]
