The blade appeared literally out of nowhere, and the moment Jacob realized that it was there, it was already touching his mask's eye, which was made with a basic-type-1 glass known as Sky Glass.

Sky glass has a clear reflection on one side while the other side looks like a solid surface, and it is quite sturdy and stainless. Not even an Advance Type-0 weapon could scratch its surface.
