Description:
A blade seeped in the history of Shawken and still used to this day, the Shawkenesse Telsword is one that has had many new iterations and innovations added to it over the centuries. In it's current iteration it's blade is made of Quadanium steel which makes the blade extremely tough and durable as well as makes it retain it's sharpness for quite a long time. It's hilt contains the very first iteration ever added to it and has held if for a long time, this iteration is also were the name stems from, a telescopic hilt that uses a twist mechanism to extend the hilt out with violent force more often than not used to strike. This mechanism has remained unaffected by electronics and as such is not vulnerable to emp's and ion weapons as the newest iterations.
The handle is wrapped in black leather and a small button is situated right where the blade meets the hilt. This button activates the collapsible conductor contact vanes integrated into the blade which are capable of resisting the plasma blade of a lightsaber and a magnatomic adhesion grip to prevent it from falling out of the user's hand.
The blade has had many fighting styles come and go around it but now most are lost to time's cruel embrace. Under their new king a surge of new Telswords have appeared with all the same features state above and a few societies of swordsmen have begun to try and revive the old styles or to make their own. Throughout the long history of Shawken owning a Telsword has been a sign of honor and prestige and being a master of one has made many a swordsman famous in Shawken history.
Many have engraved hilts or a symbol of a school or the crest of shawken emblazoned upon the base of the blade itself. Becoming a royal guard or knight of shawken requires at the very least proficiency with this weapon.
