Gwyhyr

A gwyhyr is a splendid gnomish sword, regarded as the best in the world. The gnomes had ceased production of these weapons more than two hundred years before the events of the saga. Gwyhyrs were forged with "dark iron" which made the blades light and sharp as a razor. They were also characterized by their undulating edge and hide covered hilts.

Leo Bonhart wanted such a sword, so he specially commissioned one from the swordsmith, Esterhazy. He named it "Jaskółka" (English: Swallow).

Gwyhyr appears in The Witcher 2 as a rare steel sword. The sword is obtained by completing the Baltimore's Nightmare quest in Chapter 2 on the Scoia'tel path. To get it, one must choose to keep Master Baltimore's notes from Thorak (i.e. you cannot show him the notes!). You will then end up killing Thorak; go back to Alderman Cecil and he will reward you with the sword.
