The ''' | The '''curveblade''' is a [[Sangheili]] [[melee]] weapon.<ref name="Return">'''Halo: Evolutions''', ''The Return'', ''page 509''</ref><ref name="Waypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/type-1-energy-sword '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Energy Sword'']</ref> The blade was historically used for hunting and [[martial arts|close-quarters combat]], becoming the standard in those roles long before the formation of the [[Covenant]], though variants of the ancient design continued to be used centuries later. The curveblade's design eventually developed into the Sangheili [[Burnblade]], which eventually developed into the [[Type-1 energy sword]], which was created through the reverse-engineering of [[Forerunner]] technology.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | ||
