The Sword of Balance is a neutrally aligned silver short sword added in SLASH'EM.[1] It has +2 to hit and +5 to damage against non-neutral monsters.
Strategy
This artifact is relatively weak, and mostly serves to make it more difficult for neutral characters in SLASH'EM to get a decent artifact weapon. It only gets a modest damage bonus against non-neutrals, and is quite weak against the numerous always-hostile neutrals. One possible use for it is for #twoweaponing, which is allowed for artifacts in SLASH'EM. Its silver damage is quite useful in SLASH'EM's extended Gehennom, and its damage bonus makes it preferable to an ordinary silver saber. A weapon such as Skullcrusher or Doomblade is still preferable as a secondary, however.
