Best Answer

In a book, Hermione reads that the sword of Gryffindor only takes in that which makes it stronger. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry uses the sword of Gryffindor to stab the basilisk in the basilisk's mouth; this means the sword contains basilisk venom which makes it stronger and it can kill horcruxes, just like the fang of the basilisk.
