Description: This hinged Scythe-like weapon is constructed from the Mandalorian Iron of Besk'ar, and grafted with parts of the monster Azrael defeated on Yaga Minor. The staff portion houses a two-way hinge system that is triggered from the loop near the top portion of the staff itself. The hinge can lock in place to keep the blade at a perpendicular angle to the staff itself. From this angle it can also straighten the blade out to form the weapon into a glaive. The other direction can also house the blade itself into a slot within the staff's grip.
The blade is constructed from a combination of the besk'ar ore, and the grafted tusk of the Terentatek species. Only the inner curved edge of the blade is sharpened, leaving the top portion to be a thicker and rounded for stability and safety. The sharpened tusk of the monster is highly poisonous when it touches the bloodstream. Should the blade cut flesh it will introduce the poison into the victim's system. Engineered from Sith alchemy, the Terentetak's poison is very much akin to Sith Poison - causing Force Sensitive people to be driven into a Force rage state when angry - forgetting logic and reason, and attacking in a blind rage.
Along the inner grip of the staff, and also spread along the beginning of the hinge and blade housing - the treated Terentatek hide is applied to prevent Force Users from tampering with the blade or staff. While the rest of the construction is not wrapped in that leather, attempting to alter it would take extreme precision. Mostly this is used to disrupt general force attacks. The besk'ar itself will hold up against lightsaber strikes and other energy weapons, and is durable to be a sturdy weapon lasting for quite a long time with proper care.
