You recall the important errand I had mentioned? Word had got back to me that a certain artifact I thought had been lost forever resurfaced. And now it's mine. Beautiful, isn't it? [...] The only known weapon capable of destroying an archangel -- the archangel blade.
Weapon Properties
One of the few weapons in existence with the capability to kill an archangel, but only when wielded by another archangel. Like a standard angel blade, the archangel blade is a small dagger-like weapon, but differentiates with the blade being made of a golden material and having a twisting tri-blade design, with etchings engraved down each side of the blade.
Note that the blade Gabriel takes to use against Lucifer, and which Lucifer uses to stab and presumably kill Gabriel, looked like a plain silver angel blade.
While the lore indicates that only an archangel can wield it against another archangel, the blade still proves effective against demons when used by a human.
Episodes
5.19 Hammer of the Gods
After casting a blood spell on Gabriel to bind him to her, Kali takes what she believes to be Gabriel's blade and stabs him with it, killing him. However, this is merely a trick on Gabriel's part as he is still alive and hiding in the Impala, having given her a fake he had "made out of a can of diet orange Slice." Despite the trick, he does confirm that the blade of an archangel can kill him and Lucifer. Gabriel confronts his brother with the blade to buy Sam and Dean time to escape the Elysian Fields Hotel with Kali, but is himself killed when Lucifer turns it on him.
9.18 Meta Fiction
When Castiel and Gabriel are at the gas station and realize that a group of angels is outside, Gabriel, who was an illusion made by Metatron, brandishes his archangel blade.
13.07 War of the Worlds
Kevin explains that archangel grace is required to use a spell from the angel tablet to open an inter-dimensional rift, prompting Michael to using his archangel blade to make a small incision on Lucifer's throat, allowing him to siphon off the majority of his grace to use in his rift opening spell.
13.13 Devil's Bargain
As Ketch reports back to Asmodeus regarding his failed attempt to kill Lucifer, he says he fears that as good as he is, he doesn't stand a chance against the Devil at full power. Asmodeus agrees and tells Ketch that the important errand that took him away was in regards to an artifact that had resurfaced and he reveals to Ketch the only known weapon that can destroy an archangel -- the archangel blade. Impressed, Ketch still questions the weapon's usefulness, reminding Asmodeus that the lore on the weapon specifies that it is only effective against archangels when wielded by another archangel. Asmodeus proceeds to lead Ketch to a jail cell and introduce him to one of his prisoners, the Archangel Gabriel.
13.17 The Thing
After taking a beating from Asmodeus, Ketch rebels and rescues Gabriel, at the same time stealing the Archangel Blade and the grace Asmodeus stole from him. During his escape, he uses it to kill a demon. He takes them all to Sam and Dean at the Bunker and relinquishes them in exchange for protection from Asmodeus.
13.18 Bring 'em Back Alive
While reading the story Gabriel wrote in Enochian on the walls of his room, Sam and Castiel learn that the Gabriel stabbed by Lucifer with the archangel blade was in fact a fake so that Gabriel could fake his death again. Presumably the blade Lucifer used was also a fake since he took it from the conjured version of Gabriel when he stabbed him.
