Karnus’s razor first appears in Iron Gold as a lethal heirloom of House au Bellona, its extendable blade concealing a secret hilt compartment designed for holodrop data storage. Across the saga the weapon evolves from a mere dueling instrument into a covert intelligence device, its hidden compartment repeatedly exploited to ferry encrypted messages between rival factions. Its presence in later volumes underscores the razor’s dual identity as both a symbol of Gold martial tradition and a clandestine tool of espionage.
