Description: Bekel designed this blade during his time on Coruscant, wanting a unique blade to go along with his legend. It's based off of the Trench Knife (knife + brass knuckles) design. He got the idea to place the rapidly spinning magnet cells along the blade from vibration cells, although, vibration cells are always placed in the hilt. The vibrations provide for nice, clean slices, despite the blade having teeth. However, one has to get used to the strong vibrations to effectively use the knife, especially considering the knife's large and clumsy size. The grip is covered by a form of brass knuckles, which both protect the hand and enable unarmed-style attacks. This has it's downside, as well, restricting the user from changing grips. The largest restriction (at least, for other users) is the design of the handle. It is made to accommodate Trandoshan claws, and would be very awkward in the hands of anyone else.
