All Vanu Sovereignty armor configurations are equipped with a Force Blade. The Force Blade’s powered edge can effortlessly tear through shields and modern body armor alike. [RadarX]

Obviously, which is why they haven't shown off the TR knife yet.

I like most of the VS designs, but that knife is just a bit too gonzo looking for my tastes. Actually this applies to all of the knives. I might change my mind if I can get mine with a Damascus blade customization.

Sort of looks like something out of Power Rangers.

That doesnt look like some high tech weapon. Thats straight medieval brutality. If it was something like laser cutter or something it would be more fitted for VS.

That's what I was thinking. It's obviously designed to do it's damage on the twist out of the body. Gross.

Personally, I would have expected something like a smooth, thin dagger-like blade that delivered a huge shock when it touched someone.

almost looks klingon.

a slim glowing vibro or laserknife would fit better for vs in my opinion.
or the purple action figure with adad action ;-) or the horn of a unicorn that pops out lovely heartshaped bubbles when it hits someone.

PSU: "The NC knife looks nothing like the old knife, it sucks! The VS knife looks like the old knife, it sucks!"

Anyways that a side, it looks nice. The crossguard is a bit weird looking and slightly to long but that's my only gripe.

I have to say that this is one of the less inspiring weapon designs I've seen so far.

The light's not great but it looks black as appose to purple right? which is a shame.

As somebody said it doesn't look futuristic at all. I would say there needs to be more "energy" there. Purple electricity running up and down the blade maybe, or something involving laser technology.

The knife itself looks okay, just fairly dull.

Oh yeah, what did it mean by body armour? I thought PS2 was only having health and shields (shields effectively replacing armour points), I didn't know we were having all 3.

Unless it's talking about it in a realistic sense and not a gameplay sense.

It should have been a pocket lightsaber
