MSW-9 Molecular Stiletto

A high-technology tool and melee weapon, Xana Exotic Arms' MSW-9 Molecular Stiletto appeared like a datapad stylus.

Upon the activation of a control stud, a 30-centimeter-long monomolecular blade sprang from the tip. This blade was a single molecule in thickness, and although it was fragile in comparison to other blades, it could deal significant damage. Despite its ability to cut through anything short of armor plate, its wielder had to cut carefully and very slowly, or else the blade would shatter, ruining the tool.

Behind the scenes

In Specter of the Past, the name of the weapon was misspelled as "M6W-9," and Xana Exotic Arms as "Zana."
