Crysknife

Edit Page Content

This sacred blade of the Fremen is crafted from the tooth of a dead sandworm. An average Crysknife possesses a 0.2-meter curved milky-white double blade with a finger-ridged handle. Sometimes the tip of the blade is coated with a deadly, fast-acting poison.

Part of the Fremen tradition surrounding the blade states that one can never be re-sheathed without first drawing blood. Additionally, outsiders are not allowed to view these blades, and if they do, the blade is cleansed through a long ritual or the outsider being put to death.

Crysknives come primarily in two types: unfixed and fixed. Unfixed blades must stay close to a person’s electrical field, or they will disintegrate. Fixed blades are treated with a unique process that allows them to be stored.

As an Asset: A Crysknife is a status symbol for an outsider among Fremen to show that one is a friend. They are an effective weapon against shielded opponents.

Keywords: Melee Weapon, Sacred

Quality: Even the least crysknives has a Quality 1, and the poison used may increase the Quality further.
