Harkon's Sword is a unique one-handed sword that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. It is similar in appearance to the Blades Sword but with a different color and guard, or tsuba. It also has a notably lower base damage than the regular Blades Sword, which has a base damage of 11.
Appearance
Closely resembling the Blades Sword in the base game, it's identical in every detail to its regular counterpart, but what sets it apart are its colors and tsuba (sword guard) forming two bats on either end of the blade, and this sword is golden, while the Blades sword is silver in color.
Acquisition
It is obtainable by defeating Harkon in Kindred Judgment. It can be pickpocketed with the "Misdirection" perk, but this is nearly impossible given its high value.
Enchantment
The sword bears a unique enchantment, which will only work if the wielder is a vampire. It causes the screen to go slightly dark with each successful strike.

The sword has a powerful enchantment, so it is recommended to have a large stock of filled soul gems if planning on using the sword regularly as it runs out of charges quite quickly. Alternatively, you can increase the number of charges on this weapon by enchanting your gear with "Destruction spells cost X% less to cast". The higher the value, the more uses you will get from the weapon.
