The Χ-Blade, in its incomplete form.
The Χ-Blade (Χブレード Kīburēdo) is a legendary Keyblade introduced in the Kingdom Hearts prequel, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It was discovered and wielded by Vanitas, but destroyed thanks to the efforts of Ventus and Aqua. Aqua breaks the Keyblade in half which makes Sora's and Mickey's Kingdom Keys.

Mickey defends Aqua while Ventus (possessed by Vanitas) wields the completed X-Blade.
The Χ-Blade appears to be made up of two crossing Kingdom Keys. It has a filigree that slightly resembles one on the Ultima Weapon, and the blade slightly resembles the Dream Sword.
The keychain is a black and red heart (similar to the Heartless symbol, only without the fleur-de-lis bottom and jagged cross) with two Kingdom Keys crossed over it. The chain starts out as two separate chains that form into one.
Trivia
- The letter "Χ" is the letter chi from the Greek alphabet.
- The keychain's two crossed Kingdom Keys is reminiscent the symbol of the "Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven". Although it is not seen in this incarnation, it is especially significant that the Kingdom Key has a silver blade and gold hilt, and the Kingdom Key D has a gold blade and silver hilt, matching the keys on the symbol.
