Honedge is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sword from medieval times. Its body is a silver sword with a light gray hilt. Embedded in the hilt is a blue gem with a dark center that appears to be its eye. The blue eye is said to be the true from of Honedge. Attached to the pommel is a long, dark blue cloth with a swirl design in lighter blue at the tip; the tip of the sash splits into four tassels. The sash is known to suck the life energy out of anyone who dares to grab it by the hilt. Honedge's sheath is dark brown with curved lines resembling a {{wp|triquetra}} across its surface. Near the top of the sheath are white teeth-like markings and rings with white centers that resemble eyes. A third ring extends onto the hilt and encircles its actual eye. Honedge is said to have been born from a person's soul after they were killed by the sword that it resides in.

Near the top of the sheath are two rings and a hole that in conjunction with the shape of Honedge's blade create the illusion of a face, with eyes and a mouth. A third ring extends onto the hilt and encircles its actual eye. Honedge is said to have been born from a person's soul after they were killed by the sword that it resides in.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Honedge or its evolved forms.
** Honedge and its evolved forms are also the only {{type|Steel}} Pokémon unaffected by {{a|Magnet Pull}} due to this unique typing.
* Honedge and its evolved forms were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
===Origin===
Honedge appears to be based conceptually on a fully sentient, possessed {{wp|magic sword|magical sword}}. The fact that it starts off as an ordinary sword may mean it could be based on the {{wp|bushido}} mythos behind {{wp|katana}} use; katanas possessed the user {{wp|Samurai|samurai's}} soul and attacked of its own free will. In Japanese legends, any object left behind or forgotten by its owner can and will after a while become a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, and most commonly in legends, swords or umbrellas were the ones to attack humans. Considering it drains the life of those who wield it, it may have also been based on the cursed {{wp|tyrfing}}. Visually, considering its build and hilt, Honedge seems to be based on either a {{wp|spatha}}, {{wp|claymore}}, or possibly {{wp|jian}} sword, with its own {{wp|scabbard}} and {{wp|Hilt#Sword_knot|tassel}}-like prehensile limb. The design on both Honedge and Doublade's sheath resembles that of a {{wp|triquetra}}, clearly depicted on Honedge and more ornately designed on Doublade's. Its shiny form resembles a bloodsoaked sword.
