Energy cutlass: Difference between revisions

An '''Energy Cutlass''' is a [[Kig-Yar]] [[melee]] [[weapon]]. It is a shard of glass and is pink in color. The Jackals use them primarily to dispatch enemies in close-quarters fights, especially when boarding an enemy ship. They are similar to the [[UNSC]] [[Combat Knife]]. These blades house a complex chemical mixture within them that causes the knife to explode into shards when embedded into a soft target, similar to a [[Needler]] round. These blades may be relics from an earlier time for the Kig-Yar culture or simply outdated Covenant weaponry that has since been removed or replaced by new found weaponry. It is also possible that the [[Master Chief]] never runs into an Energy Cutlass during the time of the Halo trilogy as they are never seen in game. <ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]</ref>
