The Soul Eater

The Soul Eater is Riku's weapon . It was made of the darkness inside his heart, "forged" into its sword-like shape by Maleficent's magic. Riku wielded the weapon against Parasite Cage in Kingdom Hearts, then against Sora in Hollow Bastion. World of Chaos had a double bladed pole arm version of it in the final battle.

The Soul Eater was Riku's weapon in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The Soul Eater is also used by Vexen's Riku Replica.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Riku uses the weapon to battle Sora in Land of Dragons atop the mountain. He later refers to his Keyblade, the Way to the Dawn, as "Soul Eater", presumably as a force of habit.

It bears a striking resemblence to the Way to the Dawn, Riku's Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts II, causing speculation that the Way to the Dawn was an "evolved" Soul Eater. However, in the secret ending video Birth by Sleep, which takes place many years prior to Kingdom Hearts, the Way to the Dawn is seen. It is unknown if this is the same version of the weapon that Riku acquires, but its existence suggests that the Soul Eater was designed based on the Keyblade, and not the other way around.
