Some of of my contributions:

• … was carried by a living snowman who said I could keep it if I killed him with it.

• … fell from the Plane of the Gods.

• … came to me in a dream where a masked figure stabbed me with it. When I woke up, it sticking out of my gut.

• … fell out of a painting of a great battle I was staring at.

• … was forged from the drainage caught in a grease trap.

• … was a graduation present from a relative only I remember.

• … was crafted from the teeth of komodo dragons.

• … is made from the tendrils of a mage who polymorphed into a giant squid.

• … was in the stomach of a beached sea creature.

• … was hidden in the same hole I saw a squirrel burying its nuts.

• … showed up in the post. It was addressed to someone else, but it was my address.

• … was given to me by a demon. They said “You can either make a deal with me or take this weapon.”

• … kept replacing things I owned. Every time I didn’t take it, it would appear somewhere else, replacing the object that was there before.

• … was sticking out of the ground in the center of an abandoned town.

• … formed as I was pouring myself a glass of wine. I thought I was just drunk, but it was still there when I sobered.

• … crawled toward me with brittle arms, a shrill voice calling my name. It only stops if it’s on my person.

• … only manifests if I truly believe it is there.

• … bought me a drink at the pub.

• … was actually my barber’s preferred cutting tool. When they passed, they left it to me in their will.

Enjoy!
