- Canon Link: N/A
- Primary Source: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vibrosaw, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vibrosword
- Manufacturer: Torin Verd
- Affiliation: Torin Verd
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Unique
- Material: Beskar (Teeth and "blade"), durasteel, vibration generator.
- Classification: Chainsaw-like, hand-and-a-half sword
- Size: Average
- Weight: Heavy
- Rotating, vibrosaw-like blade mounted on a more vibrosword-like configuration
- Teeth of Beskar: The "blade" portion of this weapon is made of the infamously durable Mandalorian iron known as beskar. This gives its rending teeth and blade the same durability, including resistance against lightsaber strikes.
- Might Over Swiftness: The heaviness of this weapon in addition to the vibrations of the vibroweapon components sacrifices the ability of the wielder to be an agile swordsman, making itself useful for heavy blows over finesse.
- EMP: Should the vibroweapon components of this chain-sword faulter, the cutting power is out of commission. This would leave the wielder left with something little more than beskar macuahuitl.
Inspired by a dream, this weapon is meant as something to glorify brutality of the Mandalorian pagan god, Kad Harangir. Torin crafted Shukart'a by combining both vibrosaw and vibrosword components together in an unconventional manner. In combat, the weapon would be used in melee, ripping through enemy flesh and bone. The design of the weapon is also meant to have an aspect of psychological warfare, as the gruesome look is meant to intimidate the enemy. Additionally, the vibrosaw-like blade is also useful in conditions were foliage is needed to be felled. All in all, the Shukart'a is a weapon to inspire terror in one's foes, and conquest to witness its awesome might and brutality.
