Ebony Blade

"The Ebony Blade, sometimes called the Vampire or the Leech, resembles an ebony katana, but its power is very dark indeed. Every time the Ebony Blade strikes an opponent, part of the damage inflicted flows into the wielder as raw power. The Blade itself may not be any more evil than those who have used it, but at some point in its long existence, a charm was cast on it so it would not remain with one bladesman. The wizard who cast this charm sought to save the souls of any too infatuated by the Blade, and perhaps he was right..."
— Codex Scientia

The Ebony Blade is a katana artifact that can be obtained by taking part in an artifact quest. The quest can be started anywhere but Morrowind while the artifact itself will be found in Skyrim, Valenwood or Elsweyr.

As artifacts cannot be sold to merchants and you are limited to a single artifact at a time without exploits, the Ebony Blade should not be obtained by classes that are unable to use its weapon type.
