Also known as: The Iron-Cleaver
Angrist, the Iron-cleaver, was a knife forged by Telchar, the great smith of Nogrod, that would cut iron as if it were green wood. Beren took it from the belt of the slain Curufin, and bore it into the depths of Angband; and with it, when Morgoth lay sleeping under Luthien's enchantment, he cut a single Silmaril from the Iron Crown. But when he sought greedily to win a second jewel, the blade snapped, and a flying shard grazed Morgoth's cheek so that the Dark Lord stirred in his sleep -- and the two fled with the one Silmaril they had.
