A crysknife is a weapon that can only be produced by enchanting a worm tooth. It has a +3 to-hit bonus and does d10 damage against both small and large monsters, making it a nice choice for #twoweaponing. However, if it leaves your possession, including being put in to a container, it reverts back into a worm tooth (when fixed, this only happens 10% of the time).
Crysknives count as throwing weapons, so they get a to-hit bonus when thrown. Because of their reversion property, throwing them is typically not a good idea.
Mythology
The crysknife and the concept of worm teeth are from Frank Herbert's science fiction novel Dune.
Encyclopedia entry
[The crysknife] is manufactured in two forms from teeth taken
from dead sandworms. The two forms are "fixed" and "unfixed".
An unfixed knife requires proximity to a human body's
electrical field to prevent disintegration. Fixed knives
are treated for storage. All are about 20 centimeters long.
[ Dune, by Frank Herbert ]
