Icingdeath Drizzt found Icingdeath in the treasure pile of a white dragon, for whom the blade was named. Icingdeath is first mentioned in The Crystal Shard. Drizzt usually holds Icingdeath in his right hand.

The hilt of the scimitar is of black adamantite and the blade is made of silver with a diamond edge. The panther-esque shape of the hilt is what attracted Drizzt to the sword in the first place, as it reminds him of his hunting companion, Guenhwyvar. The weapon absorbs fire and heat, protecting its wielder against fire. This magical blade saved Drizzt's life every time he faced the demon Errtu, as fire is inherent in Errtu. It is possible that Icingdeath was designed to combat demons, as Drizzt has noticed what he describes as a type of hunger emanating from the sword whenever a demon is near, which actually alerted him to the presence of a demon in Siege of Darkness.

Twinkle Twinkle is Icingdeath's companion scimitar, held in his left hand (and worn on his right hip). Drizzt received Twinkle from the mage Malchor Harpell when he was chasing Artemis Entreri after the assassin captured Regis in the novel Streams of Silver. Twinkle was first mentioned in the next novel, The Halfling's Gem. According to 2nd edition Dungeons & Dragons rules, it is a Defender +5 while, again in 3.0 edition it is a slightly tweaked +2 Defending scimitar. The Defending property has been revealed in between the lines; if read closely, every time Drizzt is in combat and there is a blow headed toward him, almost always Twinkle is there to block the blow. Forged by elves, Twinkle has a star-cut sapphire on its pommel, and the blade glows blue when danger is near.

Drizzt Do'Urden is a fictional character in the Dungeons & Dragons-based Forgotten Realms setting. As an anti-stereotype drow, Drizzt has forsaken both the evil ways of his people and their home (in the Underdark). Drizzt is one of the most well-known heroic characters of the Forgotten Realms.

Magical Items Drizzt's favorite weapon is the scimitar, and he carries two nicknamed Twinkle and Icingdeath. He also carries a magical figurine, which summons his black panther companion, Guenhwyvar. Drizzt wears a pair of "Bracers of the Blinding Strike," which increase the agility of the bearer, although he wears them on his ankles, as opposed to his wrists, claiming that footwork is just as important, if not more than, the speed of the strike. Besides, he knows that a blindingly fast strike is difficult to adjust if the enemy is able to anticipate and react to it. Drizzt's attire is generally a cloth tunic, leather pants, and soft boots. For many years, Drizzt wore an enchanted suit of mithril chainmail provided by Bruenor, but it was damaged recently, and now wears a spider silk shirt that can magically protect its wearer from all but the most lethal attacks. The adamantine in his shirt is special, as it does not turn to dust in sunlight, unlike most drow armor.

Weapons Throughout the training sessions with his father, Zaknafein Do'Urden, and in Melee-Magthere, Drizzt favored the use of scimitars, but was also schooled to mastery in every weapon conceivable to the drow. This did not change after he went to the surface world. Drizzt is not above improvising in combat by making use of any weapons available to him, but most of the time he uses no weapon other than his two enchanted scimitars: Icingdeath and Twinkle.
