Blade of the Gods
From God of War Wiki
"Search your memory Kratos. The sword which you stand on delivered your victory against Ares. Without it, you will be the one who dies this day, not Ares!" - Atropos

[edit] In God of War
Originally, the Blade of the Gods was a bridge just outside Athens at the foot of Suicide Bluffs, which Kratos crossed as he left the city. During his final battle with Ares, Kratos found and used the Blade at the last moment to kill Ares and make himself the new God of War.
The blade appears dented and weary, implying that it has been used in the past or have been damaged somehow. It is revealed in God of War II that the damage was done by Atropos when she attempted to destroy it.
[edit] In God of War II
In God of War II Kratos battles Atropos upon the sword while it's still a bridge. Atropos attempts to destroy it, so that Kratos in the past couldn't use it against Ares, and he would be the one who would die instead of Ares. Kratos however became victorious over Atropos, and her plot failed. Before the battle the blade looks more complete then it did in God of War, revealed to receive it's damaged appearance from the battle with Atropos. It might be possible that the blade is based off the Blade of Olympus, since it has similar designs.
