Long knife

A long knife was a type of traditional weapon used by various species and beings throughout the galaxy. The long knife was a long version of a knife, shorter than a sword, and used almost exclusively as a close-quarters melee weapon.

The Alwari nomads of Ansion bore long knives through many generations before the Clone Wars.

Chay Praysh's Drach'nam guards used long knives in his palace. The knife sported a hilt with spikes on it, but it was ineffective against lightsabers. As the guards did not have vibroblades, they carried with their long knives neuronic whips.
