TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Combat Knife
• Size: Average
• Weight: Light

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Mono-molecular Edge: Using laser cutting and forging technology Noah was able to sharpen the edge of the knife down to a single molecule edge giving it a edge that makes ‘razor sharp’ seem dull in comparison
• Custom Leather Sheath: Alongside the knife Noah also designed a custom leather sheath made from fine Corellian leather with a mounting system that allows it to be attached to a belt, a forearm, a boot or just about anywhere, it also include a protective insert of Beskar to stop the edge from destroying the sheath
• Knuckle Duster Guard: While originally designed as normal d-guard handguard Noah decided to transform the handguard into a knuckle duster that while not sharp are more than capable of breaking someone's jaw
• Butt Tang Blade: While not as sharp as the normal blade's edge the blade at the butt of the tang is more than capable of dealing some damage in a pinch
• Spine Inscription: While not adding anything practical to the knife Noah also included an inscription on the spine that reads “Honorary Member of House Corek” in Mando’a

STRENGTHS

• Beskar Beauty: By virtue of both design and being constructed of Beskar this custom knife is both incredibly durable and lightsaber resistant, respectively
• Beyond a Razor’s Edge: Using laser cutting and forging tech Noah honed the edge of the blade down to a point where it can cut through almost all soft materials and even some thin metals

WEAKNESSES

• Strictly Business: This knife is meant for one goal, that being combat, and as so was designed with this solely in mind and has no features of any other knife
• Has a Knifes Range: As one would expect from a knife it is only effective within arms reach of another person, it can be thrown however this is not advisable in all but the most desperate of circumstances

DESCRIPTION
With another birthday passed came yet another chance for Noah to provide his friend Valery with a gift. While a few years ago he had gifted her a pair of custom blaster pistols he struggled to think of something the Jedi Grandmaster could use. He went back and forth on what he wanted to make her but in the end he decided on something simple yet effective, a knife.

He decided to craft the knife out of Beskar in the traditional Mandalorian way, using a cryo-furnace, gravity hammer and magnetic tongs to craft the knife from hand. After many hours in the forge and more than a few failed prototypes that were melted down and recycled Noah finally forged a knife he felt worthy of gifting to his friend.

With the blade forged Noah moved onto crafting the other elements that would go into the knife. Handles were carved out of Veshok wood and secured in place with Bronzium rivets to create a sturdy and long lasting grip. Lastly he created a custom sheath from rich Corellian leather though he had to make a protective insert out of Beskar to place into it to prevent the knife’s edge from cutting the sheath open upon drawing it.

After much work Noah finally crafted a knife that was almost as deadly as its wielder and so he packed it up and shipped off to deliver it to its owner.
