A vibroknuckler or vibro knuckler was a weapon that was worn on an individual's fist and provided the wielder's punches with extra power. The Sayormi possessed a variant of this weapon known as the Sayormi Heartstriker.
Description[]
Czerka Arms' vibroknuckler was a small, easily concealable self-defense weapon. Designed to appeal to individuals who preferred to fight with their fists, the vibroknuckler was slipped over the fingers. Clenching the hand into a fist activated the attached vibroblade; although it was a short blade, it was virtually impossible for an opponent to block.[1] An experienced hand to hand fighter could deliver horrific and potentially fatal wounds to their opponent while wielding vibroknucklers.[3]
Vibroknucklers were powered by micro power cells built into the weapon.[1] They were light, weighing half a kilogram, and cost between two hundred[2] and three hundred and fifty credits.[3] Many citizens of the galaxy carried vibroknucklers,[4] most commonly thugs and petty thieves.[2]
