Retractable wrist blades

Legends Canon version → Linked from 4 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Retractable wrist blades, also called wristband blades or wrist-blades were gauntlet-mounted ejectable vibroblades.

Wristband blades were multi-centimeter, jagged, ejectable vibroblades housed in a line down the length of a gauntlet. They were most notably used by Jango Fett in his fight with Obi-Wan on Kamino, in order to stop himself from falling off the landing platform which they were fighting on.

Modified protocol droids used as gladiator droids onboard the Wheel were equipped with wrist blades.
