- "I like your knife. I'm keeping it."
"...That was my favorite knife." - ―Drax and Moloka Dar[src]
Drax the Destroyer's Knives are Drax the Destroyer's primary weapons in combat.
History[]
Origins[]
The pair of knives belonging to Drax the Destroyer were forged from a tempered metal alloy in Drax's homeworld. Drax would carry the knives in his boots, so that they were always ready for combat. The blades had been decorated with the same kind of tribal markings which had also covered Drax's entire body.[1]
Confiscated in the Kyln[]
- "Her life is not yours to take. He killed my family, I shall kill one of his in return."
"Of course, Drax, here." - ―Drax the Destroyer and Moloka Dar[src]
In 2014, the knives were taken from Drax the Destroyer when he was arrested and imprisoned by the Nova Corps on the Kyln. While Drax was threatening to kill Gamora out of revenge for Ronan the Accuser's actions, Drax was given one of Moloka Dar's knives. Despite him being convinced by Star-Lord not to kill Gamora, Drax chose to keep Dar's knife for himself. During his escape from the Kyln, Drax retrieved his original pair of knives, along with all the rest of his other belongings, before getting onboard the Milano.[2]
Skirmish on Knowhere[]

- "I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!"
- ―Drax the Destroyer[src]
Seeking to find Ronan the Accuser and kill him in battle, Drax the Destroyer used his knives to threaten Steemie Blueliver, forcing him to send a message to Ronan to bring him to Knowhere for a showdown. Once Ronan arrived with his army of the Sakaarans, Drax greeted him with his knives ready. During their battle, Drax was unable to land a killing blow against Ronan, and was eventually disarmed and defeated.[2]
Battle of Xandar[]
During the Battle of Xandar, Drax used his knives to battle with Korath and the Sakaarans inside the Dark Aster.[2]
Fighting an Abilisk[]

- "The beast's hide is too thick to be pierced from the outside, I must cut through it, from the inside."
- ―Drax the Destroyer to Gamora[src]
Months later, Drax used his knives on Sovereign during the Guardians' fight against an Abilisk. In an attempt to kill the Abilisk, Drax used his knives to try and cut through the creature from the inside.[3]
Battle of Titan[]
Doctor Strange blocks Drax's two knives
While the Guardians of the Galaxy were hunting down Thanos, who had captured Gamora and taken her to an unknown location, Drax the Destroyer used the knives to attack Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Iron Man on the destroyed Q-Ship on Titan, believing them to be working for Thanos. However, Strange deflected them using a Tao Mandalas and they soon managed to make peace.
Later, Drax used the knives to battle Thanos on Titan, with him notably landing a strike that even if only barely, injured Thanos and caused him to flinch. He then dueled Thanos alongside Strange who used Magic to craft a sword to allow him to fight Thanos. However, Drax's use of his knives was only effective for a short period, as Thanos swiftly overwhelmed him and incapacitated him briefly with a powerful punch that send him through stones even though Drax used his knives to block it. The knives later disintegrated with Drax.[4]
Battle of Earth[]

In 2023, as a result of the Blip, Drax was restored to life and his knives rematerialized with him. He then used them during the battle at the destroyed Avengers Compound, fighting against Cull Obsidian.[5]
Guardians' Adventures[]
