The Ninth Witness is Kethline’s working honor sword, not a wall ornament with family lies engraved down the fuller. Its maraging-steel blade carries nine shallow witness marks that expose stress whitening before the metal lets go, and the rayhide grip stays trustworthy under rain, coolant, or blood. Owners are taught to check the seventh mark after any hard parry. Ignore the pale line there and the next bind may leave you holding a hilt and several inches of embarrassment.
Licensed ceremonial arm where sword carry is permitted; peace-bond required in most civic concourses.
