There are a few notches in the weapon to catch smaller blades within their deadly grasps

Her magnetic lock could potentially be used against her
HISTORY
In Lirka Ka's comparatively "younger" years (at around the ripe age of 95-100 years old) she was the most successful and most famous pit fighter within the Choah Asteroid Belt, the isolated place had devolved into that savage blood-sport during it's long decades of being abandoned. With this near fame for her savage and bloody rite to champion, she earned a small fortune she hoarded away for when she would inevitably leave this place and go on a new path in life. When given the chance to train with Anzati Assassins and Warriors on the dangerous world on Anzat (though if it was the planet, or the people, that were the true threat is entirely up for debate), growing into a much more potent warrior she took her small fortune to the orbit of the planet. Enlisting the craft of an old weaponsmith on the world, throwing about all her money away into her trademark armor and of course. Her deadly "Klaive" as she named her strange and exotic weapon.Supposedly, it was an old Sephi design. This is close to a half-truth as it does indeed show distinct Sephi traits, such as the artistic thought put into it. It's flow as it slashes across an enemy, and the intricate runes she personally carved along it's side. Most importantly thought, the mighty weapon was made of the ever potent metal Songsteel. Allowing her to engage force users in cutthroat duels of blades without worrying about her expensive weapon being destroyed immediately. For much of that fortune went into this impressive and highly unique weapon.
It became one of the Sephi's trademarks when she entered the field, the quite large (2 meters in length, longer than the woman holding it) blade never leaving her side except in the rarest occasions. Somewhat like seeing a Supernova when travelling the Galaxy.
