Combat Role: CQC energy weapon and fighting knife
Price: 7,500 credits
Manufactured by Sanyo Industries, the JL-127 Pulse-knife is a reproduction of a weapon owned by InuYasha Sanyo. The weapon features a small recharging power generator in the grip, and the energy beam is emitted at the back of the split blade. When fired, the beam is focused by a ridge of nanocrystal on both blade grooves. The JL-127 is capable of firing a continuous beam, or pulses of energy, and is highly accurate in either mode. The refractive crystalline alloy blades are incredibly sharp and can easily slice through thin armor, although a stabbing thrust is needed to penetrate thicker armor, such as that worn by Stormtroopers. This is the standard-issue sidearm of the Fortune Hunters. It is sold with a leather scabbard/holster and fires a distinctive blue pulse of energy.
