michael’s signature blade
la spada con cui [l'arcangelo Michele] viene solitamente rappresentato


Explanation:
Immagino che il testo sia questo:

"I find it especially fascinating that these youngsters, such as Sandra Slaght's daughter Meryn, describe classic Michael features without having seen paintings or heard descriptions of him!
...
Before reading about him in Doreen's book, I didn't even know he carried a big sword! So there was no way for Meryn to know about Michael's signature blade unless she saw him herself!"

"Quindi Meryn non poteva sapere della spada con cui [l'arcangelo Michele] viene solitamente rappresentato"

In contesto, penso che lo renderei più o meno come suggerito.

agree  tradu-grace: se il testo è quello che hai trovato ... concordo
17 hrs
  -> Grazie Grace. È l'unica occorrenza esatta della frase che si trova in rete, con lo stesso contesto e campo (religione), per cui penso di sì.

la caratteristica spada/lama di Michele


Explanation:
La caratteristica spada, che è l'attributo dell'Arcangelo Michele. Però, se avessi messo più contesto, sarebbe stato meglio
