Mehrune's Razor
Mehrunes’ Razor is a dagger forged by Mehrunes Dagon to have a 1% chance of killing an opponent instantly. The Razor is functionally the same as a Daedric Dagger, yet looks different and weighs half as much. It is assembled from the Hilt, Pommel, and Shards of Mehrunes’ Razor after choosing to kill Silus Vesuius at the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon at the end of “Pieces of the Past.”
You must be at least level 20 to start the quest; you can either wait for a courier to hand you a museum pamphlet, which will direct you to Silus Vesuius outside his home in Dawnstar, or just start by doing that on your own initiative. Silus will offer you a tour of the museum and when it’s finished ask you to retrieve the rest of the pieces of Mehrunes’ Razor. The pommel can be obtained from killing the hagraven leader and looting her body at Dead Crone Rock, which is also the location of a word of power and a Stone of Barenziah. The shards are located on a pedestal within the vaults of Cracked Tusk Keep, surrounded by many booby traps. The hilt is located in a chest in Jorgen’s house in Morthal. You can either obtain the keys from Jorgen by using a speech technique to convince him or by picking the locks to get in.
Ruturn to Silus and he will give you gold for bringing all the pieces back to him then meet you at the shrine of Mehrunes Dagon. At the shrine, he will be unable to get the prince to repair his Razor and ask you to try. Mehrunes will demand you to kill Silus. Silus will beg you to take 500 gold in return for sparing him, but accepting will grant you the fully assembled Razor, which is needed for the Oblivion walker achievement. Picking up the Dagger after it is assembled will complete the quest, but afterwards Mehrunes will summon 2 Dremora for you to fight as “one final test.”
