I found the following here (http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/drizzt-35.htm) (scroll down to Catti-Brie):


Khazid'hea, a.k.a. Cutter: +2 keen sure-striking adamantine longsword; AL CN; Int 17, Wis 10, Cha 17; Telepathy (Khazid'hea appears to lack the ability to speak or read); 120 ft. darkvision and hearing; Ego score 17.

Lesser Powers: Khazid'hea grants its wielder free use of the Cleave, Great Cleave, and Improved Sunder feats.

Special Purpose: Defeat/slay all (other than the item and wielder).

Dedicated Power: Cause rage in wielder as wizard spell.

Personality: Taken from Dantrag Baenre, a drow battle master, Khazid'hea has little personality of which to speak. The blade longs for little more than the chaos of battle and the blood of foes, and it constantly eggs its wielder into battle and is jealous of any kill for which it is not responsible. However, the blade makes little distinction between friend and foe and is likely to demand its wielder battle allies when all enemies have fallen. The blade grants its wielder the benefits of rage only if the wielder agrees to kill all "foes" or the blade is dominant. If Khazid'hea is dominated by its wielder, it alter its pommel to better suit the aesthetic tastes of its new master.

Strong transmutation; CL 15th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, align weapon , keen edge ; Price 104,015 gp; Cost 53,515 gp + 4,161 XP.

From a crunch perspective, brilliant energy fits Khazid'hea almost perfectly; you'd just have to refluff it.

From a crunch perspective, brilliant energy fits Khazid'hea almost perfectly; you'd just have to refluff it.
There are some critical differences, though. Brilliant Energy defeats armor by by intangible with respect to non-living matter. Khazid'hea defeats armor by being so sharp it cuts right through it. Thus, Khazid'hea can harm undead, constructs, and other non-living enemies, and cut through stone and other objects, where a Brilliant Energy weapon would have no effect.

I'd give Cutter the ability to carve through pretty much any sort of DR as well, going just by how sharp that thing is and what it's been able to slice.
