Vibroknife

Stephanie Harrington's vibro knife.

A vibro blade was a type of powered tool or edged weapon used in the Post Diaspora era.

Overview[]

The cutting edge of a vibro knife was less than a molecule wide and could inflict terrible wounds when active. It existed in several versions, including small survival knives of 18 centimeter blade length and bush knives of 60 centimeter. (HHA1.1: ABF)

For safety reasons, civilian versions were required, by Manticoran law, to emit a high pitched whine when activated. (HHA2.1: TS)

The Royal Manticoran Marine Corps used the M87 Vibro Bayonet. (JIR1)

During the reign of the Legislaturalist's on Haven, vibro blades were ignored by the Public Order Police so long as they had a maximum blade length of 30 centimeters. It lowered the incentive to obtain firearms from the black market. Blades used by factions such as the April Tribunal had a length of 1-2 meters and were silent. (Recruiting Exercise)
