Excalibur

"Excalibur is said to be the sword given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake. Some say that Arthur gave it Gawain (one the Knights of the Round Table). After his last battle it was returned to the water where it was grasped by a hand and drawn under. Its scabbard prevented the user from losing blood. When Gawain fought the Mabon (a magician) over the fairy Marsique, she obtained the scabbard for him but it later disappeared. The Welsh name for Excalibur was Caladvwlch and the Irish called it Caladbolg, the name of the sword used by heros in Irish legends derived from the calad (hard) and blog (lightning)."
