What do you get for the Knife Collector that already has everything? You get them a Sorenn-Syrush Industries Obsidian Short Dagger. Each blade is a short dagger that when ordered comes in a variety of designs; High Society, Outer Rim, and 'Primitive Nouveau'. Each design has its own appearance that is meant to emulate the designs and trends of various worlds and societies, though the blades themselves are more for show than actual use.
The High Society design is marked with a more streamlined appearance. Straight lines, soft edges, and steep slopes are often worked into the design of the blade. The handles themselves are crafted with images of life in the Core Worlds, or often have gemstones mounted into the hilts to show off the owners wealth.
In comparison, the Outer Rim design is a more rugged design, with the blades often being thicker, making them more durable (though still fragile as they may break after a couple of stabs). These are more often designed to catch the eye of the more wealthy members of the Outer Rim who would otherwise still be shunned by the societies of the Core Worlds and more 'civilized' space. This gives them a means to show their wealth and status on their own worlds, with the designs also matching their homeworld's stories, myths and legends.
However, the most popular and sought after of the designs is the 'Primitive Nouveau', which are often crafted to appear as though they were handcrafted by some primitive yet noble savage on some backwater world. These blades are actually rarer than the other designs, as they take longer to craft. The blades and hilts are usually crafted, and carved to have motifs of flora and fauna of 'back water' and primitive planets of the Galaxy. A few in circulation have the images of Talz life, while a handful have a carved Gundark in the hilt.
The primary downside of this dagger is both is fragility (primarily the blades due to them being made of obsidian), as well as their high price tag. For something as simple as a dagger, it is rather costly, with the High Society design ranging in the upper 700s, while the Primitive Nouveau blades have been known to sell upwards of 1200 credits.
