Her sword is named Changeling.

 

[M. Robert Gibson]

Mjölnir – The hammer of Thor.

To which I must add
Gungnir - Odin's spear.

Let me be the first to say: Excalibur

Yet more extraordinary was its scabbard.

The deadly axe of Cenarius​

The deadly axe of Cenarius is one of the famous magical weapons in the Warcraft series. This ax was made by Malfurion under the supervision of the demigod Cenarius especially for Broxigar. The sharpness and density of the diamond-like blade of this ax made it a deadly weapon in the hands of Broxigar.

Kring, a magical sword in The Colour of Magic.
No a happy bunny, it keeps telling Rincewind about settling down to a nice quiet retirement on a farm somewhere, having been beaten into a ploughshare (I don't know what one of those is, but it's an existence that seems to have some point to it)

 

[Danny McG]

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

Monty Python

 

[farntfar]

Caudimordax. The Tailbiter. Magic sword given to Farmer Giles by the rather indolent king in Farmer Giles of Ham.
This eventually leads to the king's deposition, to be replaced by Giles himself with the help of a similarly lazy dragon.
A lighthearted tale from JRRT, with light hearted drawings by Pauline Baynes.

Also Gurthang, the Blacksword of Turin in the first age of Middlearth. Apart from killing lots of people of various types (including the dragon Glaurung) the sword speakls 3 times.

If we're going to have the One Ring, then we must also have the white gold ring of Thomas Covernant.

What about the Vorpal Sword?

 

[paranoid marvin]

I always thought that Monkey's magic staff was really cool. He could shrink it down to the size of a match stick and pop it behind his ear, then enlarge it when needed.

The Sword of Welleran from the story of the same name by Lord Dunsany

 

[Paul J. Menzies]

The Force vs The Death Star
The Terminator vs The T1000
Agent Smith vs The Red Pill

...Weapons all.

Tony Montana's "Little Friend" might be one of my favorites.

Would Rincewind’s Luggage count?

• It has a name: The Luggage
• It’s certainly magical
• And it’s most definitely a weapon: just ask the shades of those that it’s eaten.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Philip K. Dick had a gun in one of his books, cannot remember the name.

The famous Prissan axe​

The famous Prissan axe belongs to the king of the dwarfs, Shah Prissan , the power of this ax lies in the fact that a powerful demon is bound in this ax.

[Fiberglass Cyborg]

There's the three titular swords of "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" by Tad Williams.

Minneyar ("Memory") and Thorn were both made by the Tinuked'ya, the first from the ship keel of a conquering invader, the second from a meteorite that fell at the death of a Saviour. Minneyar was used to slay a dragon, and has a bone from a king's finger set into the hilt. The black sword Thorn, once carried by the greatest knight in history, is notable for changing its weight - no-one can lift it if it doesn't want to be lifted. The most cursed of the three is Jingizu (Sorrow), the Sithi-made blade of mingled iron and witchwood associated with the undead Storm King. So much as touching the thing can destroy your sanity.

The Vorpal Sword From Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland
Heron Marked Sword Robert Jordan's Wheel of time series . The blade was said to be unbreakable.

The Vorpal Sword turns up again in the comic "Fables" by Bill Willingham. There, it is the ultimate one-hit-kill weapon, able to decapitate anyone and anything. Yes, it makes the sound effect "snicker-snack!"

Tolkien seemed to like naming weapons, mainly swords. As well as the ones already mentioned (Glamdring, Orcrist and Sting), we have:

• Narsil/Andúril - the sword of Aragorn
• Anglachel/Gurthang - Túrin's sword
• Angrist - the knife of Beren
• Gúthwinë, the sword wielded by Éomer
• Herugrim, the sword that belonged to Théoden
• Ringil, the sword of Fingolfin
• Aeglos,the spear wielded by the Elf-King Gil-galad
• Dramborleg, the axe belonging to Tuor
• Grond, the mace of Morgoth, which gave its name to a battering ram in The Lord of the Rings
• Belthronding, the bow wielded by Beleg Cúthalion

I'm sure I've missed some, and not all (but most) were magical.
