A one-handed sword crafted from the gigantic Gigas Cedar, a tree that grows near the village of Rulid, where Eugeo and Alice grew up. Kirito ends up possessing it, but it didn't have a specific name and was simply called "The Black One" until Eugeo named it the "Night Sky Sword."
Eugeo named Kirito the "Night Sky Sword" with the hope that "he would gently embrace the Underworld like the night sky." What a sweet name, isn't it!
