DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES
Adjustable Handle: The Handle of the Morp Knife is adjustable. The weapon comes in a box that has several rubber handle attachments. These can be switched out and moved around on the handle to assure a comfortable grip.
Stun Generator: Central to the handle itself is the Knife's stun generator. This part of the blade is similar to what is found in a Stun Baton or any similar paralytic weapon.

Strengths:
  • Paralytic: The Morp Knife, as it's name implies, is related in function to the Morp Gun. The weapon is meant as a stunning and paralytic weapon, the generator within the handle acting the same way as a stun baton save for passing the current through the knife. Striking someone with the blade of the Morp Knife produces a numbing effect, the electrical surge of the generator temporarily disabling the nerves of the area that was cut or stabbed. The true feature of the Morp Knife however is when the blade is stabbed into something. The weapons generator kicks into overdrive and the current is spread throughout the victim, in effect paralyzing them .
Weaknesses :
  • Battery: The Morp Knife functions off of battery power, and thus it can of course be drained. Through normal use the battery of the knife can last about 15 minutes, this however can be significantly drained when stabbed into someone or something. Depending on the size of the victim, their relative muscle mass, etc, the battery of the Morp Knife can be drained Faster. For instance a regular Human would have the battery last the standard fifteen minutes while a rancor might only be held for thirty seconds.
  • Regular Knife: The blade of this knife is not phrik, ultrachrome, songsteel, or anything else fancy. This blade is simple durasteel, cheap and easy to manufacture, conductive, but not lightsaber resistant or otherwise unique. In today's galaxy that seems to be a weakness.
DESCRIPTION
The Morp Knife came about as a rather simple design aspect.

The design is based off of a product that is already used the galaxy over by security forces and thugs alike, stun batons. The idea of these weapons is relatively simplistic, utilizing either an electric or stun charge in order to subdue people, animals, and sometimes even droids and allow for a non-lethal means of combat. Of course, these non-lethal weapons don't always work out, either because their impact is not enough or they simply don't have the charge.

To counteract this Vanir Technologies decided to produce a more...harsh method of non-lethality while also providing the versatility of a regular knife.

Though a knife can be an incredibly dangerous weapon, in the right hands the Morp Knife can be correctly utilized to bring down an attacking foe.

More often than not the Morp knife is not meant for combat against civilians, rather it is a military tool for the capturing of enemy agents, creatures, etc. The functionality of the knife allows one to defend themselves to the utmost while giving the user the option of taking a non-lethal approach. The shock generator within the knife is powerful enough to bring down near enough any living creature, if only for a short time. The blade also has many other smaller and more clever uses.

All in all, the Morp Knife is just a simple blade designed for more versatile use.
