Kavohzein's Fang is a unique dragon priest dagger that can be found in multiple locations. It is a special type of dagger that is used to collect heartscales from the corpses of Dragons .

History

It was named after the dragon that was worshipped by a particular sect of a dragon cult. According to Tolfdir, the cult was quite fond of ritual sacrifices to the extent that the High Priest would spend a great deal of time sharpening the dagger so it was always ready for its next victim.

Acquisition

The dagger is radiant in its placement and is typically found in the same locations as Dragon Priests.

Once the Dragonborn's Alteration skill reaches 90, Tolfdir can be asked if there is anything else he can teach about Alteration. This will start the Alteration Ritual Spell quest.

Tolfdir will ask the Dragonborn to use the dagger to retrieve Dragon heartscales for him. The dagger can be kept and used to gain further dragon heartscales even after completing the quest. The dagger cannot be stored or dropped until completion of the quest, It can however be removed from the inventory if placed in a weapon rack or display case in a house.
