Hrunting

Hrunting is a sword in the Old English epic poem Beowulf. Unferth gives it to Beowulf, who uses it when fighting Grendel's mother at the bottom of a lake. Although it is said to have great power and never to have failed its user, it proves ineffective in that battle, and Beowulf discards it.
