Mehrunes' Razor is one of the best daggers in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim due to its unique enchantment that gives it a chance to one hit kill anything in the game, even giants and dragons! You can also get Mehrunes' Razor early at level 1. It's considered one of the best weapons in Skyrim to get early since it does the same damage as a Daedric Dagger. This unique, one-handed weapon is also one of the 17 Daedric Artifacts required for the Oblivion walker Achievement/Trophy.
Weapon Enchantment
Mehrunes' Razor has an unlimited enchantment and will never need to be recharged. The unique enchantment gives the dagger a 1.98% chance to instantly kill almost anything in Skyrim, even a legendary dragon.

How to Get Mehrunes' Razor Guide
Where to find the Mehrunes' Razor Location
Mehrunes' Razor is a missable quest reward. You will get Mehrunes' Razor for completing the quest Pieces of the Past and choosing to defeat Silus Vesuius.
During the quest you must find each fragment of the Razor before you can make it whole again:
- Scabbard of Mehrunes' Razor – Kept by Silus Vesuius in the Mythic Dawn Museum in Dawnstar when the quest is started.
- Hilt of Mehrunes' Razor – Located in Jorgen and Lami's House in Morthal.
- Pommel Stone of Mehrunes' Razor – Held by the Hagraven Drascua at Dead Crone Rock.
- Shards of Mehrunes' Razor – Kept by the Orsimer Warrior Ghunzul in Cracked Tusk Keep in Falkreath Hold.
Once all the pieces of Mehrunes' Razor have been found you must meet Silus at the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon and speak to the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. Dagon will ask you to kill Silus, if you kill him the Mehrunes' Razor will be reforged so you can wield it. If you choose not to kill Silus he will return to his home with the fragments and place them into a sealed display case that cannot be further interacted with.
Smithing Guide
The Razor can be upgraded with an Ebony Ingot and the Arcane Blacksmith perk, however it does not benefit from any Smithing perks. This means that the weapon cannot be improved past flawless quality without boosting the Smithing skill over level 100. This can be achieved by using enchanted items and/or smithing potions to fortify Smithing.

Weapon Levels
Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.
The Mehrunes' Razor is not a leveled weapon and so is worth getting early at level 1 to aid you on your Skyrim playthrough.
