Mehrunes Razor is an artifact dagger, the signature token of Mehrunes Dagon. The weapon has been locked away in Varsa Baalim buried underneath Sundercliff Watch.
Its brown leather sheath has a Daedric "O" placed upon it, the Oht. Its metal blade is separated from the hilt by a darker metal guard. On the end is a dark round stone pommel.
The dagger alone does good damage (depending on your level, its base damage is between that of a Steel Dagger and Daedric Dagger; its reach is slightly longer than a standard dagger). The most unusual aspect of this dagger, however, is the Daedric Banishing enchantment, which has a chance of instantly killing its target.
The chance that Daedric Banishing instantly kills is based upon your luck and is not leveled. The equation for it is: DeathChance = PlayerLuck * 0.05
DeathChance is at least 1 and at most 10. The script then generates a random number from 0 to 99; if the random number is less than or equal to DeathChance, the dagger kills instantly. Therefore, if your luck is 20 or less, you have a 2% chance of instant death; if your luck is 100, the chance is 6%; with luck boosted to 200, the chance becomes 11%.
The script attached to the dagger ensures that NPCs tagged as Essential or in the Creature Faction will never be banished. The latter exclusion is intended specifically to protect Mehrunes Dagon himself.
Even when the message upon successful Daedric Banishing says Mehrunes Dagon "claims the soul", Soul Trap effects still work perfectly normally.

NotesEdit
- A weapon with the same appearance as Mehrunes Razor is present even without the download. It is called "Ceremonial Dagger" and has an Editor ID of
MDMehrunesRazor. PC Users can obtain it using the console commandplayer.additem 0008DA4A. - Comments in the script indicate that it was intended to be a 1 to 10% chance, rather than the 2 to 11% chance it ends up being.
- Though the dagger is of Daedric origin, it cannot be given to Martin in the quest Blood of the Daedra.
- The number of souls claimed by the Razor is counted, and shown every time it claims another soul. This count will not reset when the Razor runs out of charge.
- When used against an enemy with reflect spell, such as a lich or a flesh atronach, it is possible to trigger yourself to be instantly killed.
This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion DLC Patches.
- The dagger also resurfaces in Skyrim during its relevant Daedric quest.
