Source. Original maker unknown.
Intent: To give Mandalorian PCs a potential counter to Force Lightning.
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Akure Executive Leatherworks (brand name not advertised on product), in association with @[member="Isley Verd"]
Model: Fett Kal Trench Knife
Affiliation: Members of the Mandalorian faction
Modularity: No
Production: Limited
Material: Alchemized durasteel, brylark wood
Description: The Fett Kal sprang from the close association between the Mandalorians and the Nightsisters of Dathomir, several of whom are skilled alchemists. After numerous battles against the Sith, including Junction, Manda'yaim, and the Carbonite Army clash, high-ranking Mandalorians such as Field Marshal @[member="Ordo"] saw the need for a counter to the ubiquitous Force Lightning. The Nightsister alchemist Rave Merrill, working closely with her alchemy student Lord @[member="Isley Verd"], a Mandalorian, crafted a concept and an alchemical formula that, together, would maximize speed and simplicity of construction. The result is a limited production run of several hundred, produced with the assistance of Rave's personal alchemical team.

The weapon itself is, as alchemical weapons go, relatively unimpressive. Like many midgrade Sith swords, with which it shares metallurgical similarities, it is dense, fully lightsabre-resistant, and capable of absorbing Force lightning and other electrical current. The latter property is the most important. This dagger's brass knuckles, pommel, guard, and blade, when placed in the path of Force lightning, absorb it, and only release it upon impact. The weapon is too short to use as a primary weapon in a protracted duel against lightsabres. In the vast majority of situations, it is useful only as a standard trench knife, with cutouts to reduce the weight of heavy alchemical metal. When faced with widely branching Force lightning, as from a high-level Master, the knife will, of course, only absorb the nearest forks of electrical discharge.

Classification: Dagger
Size: One-handed
Length: 28cm
Weight: 1kg
Other Features: Fully lightsabre-resistant, can collect lightning discharges and release on impact
