The Travelers' knife? No way. I just got rid of that thing.
Matt about the Traveler Knife in Fifty Shades of Grayson

The Traveler Knife was a mystical blade that was formerly in the possession of Gregor, a member of the Travelers. It has the power to permanently kill a Passenger without killing the host in the process. In Resident Evil, the last known knife was destroyed by Markos, the leader of the Travelers.

History[]

The origin of the Traveler knives are unknown, but it can be assumed that they are old, since Katherine Pierce recognized one from her human life as a Traveler, though her family chose not to practice magic. It is likely that the blades were forged around 2,000 years ago, when the Travelers were first punished for Qetsiyah and Silas' spell; since Passenger spells were used as a work-around for the effects of the Travelers' Curse that prevented the Travelers from performing magic in groups or settling as a community, it would make sense that the knives were created to counter this loophole.

Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series[]

Season Five[]

In True Lies, Gregor used the last knife to threaten Silas. Nadia took the blade from him and killed him in order to prove that she was loyal to Silas.

In Original Sin, Gregor asked Nadia where his body is. He went there in Matt's body to dig his body up and take the blade. Matt awoke the following day in muddy shoes and with a blade in his pocket.

In For Whom the Bell Tolls, Matt told Jeremy about his problem and the blade. He decided to set cameras around the house to track what he was doing. He checked the videos the next day. In the video, Gregor possessed Matt and called his friend Kristof. Then he approached the camera and told Matt that at some point his friend will come to look for the blade. Matt's only task is to protect it.

In Dead Man on Campus, Matt gave the blade to Katherine, who gave it to Nadia.

In Fifty Shades of Grayson, Nadia told Katherine that she can use the blade in order to extend her life. When she said that she did not want it, Nadia gave the blade back to Matt.

In Gone Girl, Stefan used the knife to kill Katherine.

In Resident Evil, the passenger inside Tyler gave the last known traveler knife to Markos, who destroyed it with fire.
