He's referring to the Iqnuisitor's Handbook for Dark HEresy:
Inquisitor's Handbook page 187 wrote: Eviscerator
Class: Melee (Chain)
Favoured by Ecclesiarchy zealots and witch-hunters, the eviscerator is an obscenely large double-handed chain weapon
fitted with a crude version of the disruption field generator more commonly found on power-blades. Although very
unwieldy and tiring to use, the eviscerator is fully capable of ripping an armoured man in half or tearing open the most
blasphemously corrupted mutant in a single stroke. Outside of the agents of the Holy Ordos, the Redemptionist sects that
plague the lower levels of Hive Tarsus on Scintilla employ the eviscerator as a weapon of terror and corporal mortification.
