Imaginary or magical weapons used in famous works of fantasy or fiction

The Eye of Agomotto Doc Strange It contains the Infinity stone which can mAipuate and control time.
 
One slight twist on this I've always liked is from Fritz Leiber's sword-and-sorcery stories. Fafhrd's sword is called Greywand, while the Grey Mouser has a sword called Scalpel and a dagger called Cat's Claw. However, they constantly lose all their gear during their misadventures, so they just use these names for whatever weapons they happen to have at the moment.
 

Albedo's Ax​

In the anime series "Overlord," Albedo is one of the main characters and serves as the guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She wields a weapon known as Albedo's Ax, which is a massive battle axe specifically designed for her.
Albedo's Ax is a formidable weapon that reflects her immense strength and power. It is a two-handed axe with a long handle and a large, sharp blade. The ax is primarily black with silver accents, representing Albedo's dark and commanding presence. The blade is incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through various materials with ease.
Albedo's Ax possesses magical properties that enhance her combat abilities. It can channel her mana, allowing her to unleash powerful and devastating attacks. The ax is also resistant to damage and can withstand intense battles without losing its effectiveness.
Furthermore, Albedo's Ax symbolizes her status as the Overseer of the Guardians and her dedication to protecting the Great Tomb of Nazarick. It serves as a visual representation of her authority and her commitment to her role.
Overall, Albedo's Ax is a fearsome weapon that complements her strength and formidable presence in the world of "Overlord."

King Arthur would seem to have a full, named set: as well as Excalibur, he also owned Clarent, the Sword of Peace, often identified with the Sword in the Stone (which wasn't Excalibur), Carnwennan, his dagger, Rhongomiant, his spear, and Pridwen, his shield.

Excalibur's scabbard, though extremely powerful, doesn't seem to have a name in any of the source material of The Matter of Britain. There's an very funny thread on Narkive about it:

The name of Excalibur's scabbard?
 
Shardblades are the main magical weapon in "The Stormlight Archive." Each blade is bonded to its owner, who summons it into existence and dismisses it again when they're done. The rest of the time they have no physical presence. A shardblade can cut effortlessly through pretty much any inanimate matter, except for a kind of power-infused armor called Shardplate. When they strike living flesh, however, they kill it without cutting it. Most of the Shardblades known at the start of the story are improbably large and ornate; fortunately they are also extremely light. There's a LOT more to Shardblades, but a) it's complicated and b) spoilers.

I've always liked Mjölnir. Thinking about engraving it on one of my 1911s.
