The Forever Sword, better known as Jake's Sword, is a magical weapon owned by Jake in the Disney Junior animated series Jake and the Never Land Pirates. It was created by Peter Pan, carved from the Forever Tree, and given to Jake when the young pirate was given the task to keep Never Land safe from Captain Hook as Peter left to explore the outside world.
History[]

Sometime before the events in the series, Peter Pan carved the sword using the wood from the Forever Tree, an old and massive tree that is hidden under Never Land's surface. When Peter decided to explore the world outside of Never Land, he bestowed the sword on to Jake so the young pirate could be a good leader.

Once Jake finally reaches the finish line atop of Belch Mountain, Hook manages to take the Mega-Mecha Sword for himself, leaving Jake to plummet into the volcano. Jake asks Captain Hook to help him out of the volcano, but the volcano start rumbling, forcing Captain Hook and his crew to flee to safety and leaving Jake to his fate. Fortunately, Cubby, Izzy and Skully arrive to help Jake, but find themselves also in the volcano, but using Cubby's map, they learn of a secret path to escape the volcano. Equipped with his old sword, Jake finds the confidence and courage to lead his crew out of Belch Mountain and later rescues Captain Hook and his crew from the dangers of the lava flow.
