| rdfs:comment | - Vibroblades were a type of bladed melee weapon that used ultrasonic vibrations to increase cutting effectiveness. Swords, pikes, knives, and axes all consisted of the same basic design: the weapon's hilt or handle usually contained a compact ultrasonic generator, causing the blade to vibrate at an incredible speed, making even the slightest glancing blow become a gaping wound. It could be fitted with cortosis weave, allowing it to parry the blows of lightsabers and energy swords.

- A vibroblade is a class of science fiction weapon that uses an ultrasonic generator attached to a bladed weapon like a knife or sword. The ultrasonic vibrations along the blade's edge allow it to cut through much denser materials than would normally be possible. Alternatively, friction from the vibrations are used to heat the blade white-hot, and the heat is the source of the increased cutting power. Vibroblades have been used in numerous settings, including:
- A vibroblade is a blade that vibrates very quickly. No, not like that, you sick, sick person. It is often thought of as green, but that's just a misconception. A nasty looking bladed object, which if you get poked with, you're liable to looking at your digestive tract decorating the floor, before wondering why you have a sort of empty feeling in your middle. Fanboys speculate that Aayla Secura kept one on her person at all times, but that's a myth. Go home and write your fanfics, fanboys/girls/?.

However, it could stop a lightsaber (the writers needed SOMETHING that jedi don't use that can stop a lightsaber), Allegedly. No-one has been suicidal enough to try it (except for people in KOTOR, but they can survive hits from a lightsaber, strange buggers that they are.). Oh, plus don't poke anything electrical with it. It can explode, and take off your arm (and maybe your face). And you won't get a cool suit like Darth Vader, as there was only one made for Darth Fellatio, and we all saw Vader's reaction to that.

- Vibroblades were a type of bladed melee weapon that used ultrasonic vibrations to increase cutting effectiveness. Swords, pikes, knives, and axes all consisted of the same basic design: the weapon's hilt or handle usually contained a compact ultrasonic generator, causing the blade to vibrate at an incredible speed, making even the slightest glancing blow become a gaping wound. Its cortosis weave allowed it to parry the blows of lightsabers, energy swords, or a random blaster bolt. The cortosis weave became less common when the probability of fighting a lightsaber-wielding opponent decreased. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, knowledge of cortosis, as well as the mineral itself, was extremely rare. Vibro-bladed weaponry was more common on isolated, less civilized worlds such as Tatooine. Jabba Desilijic Tiure's personal Gamorrean guards were known to use vibro-axes, and his skiff crew also used pikes with vibro-bladed cutting edges. During his infiltration into Jabba's palace, Lando Calrissian used a SoroSuub BD-1 Cutter vibro-ax as his primary weapon. Vibroblades were popular among criminals, resulting in them being banned on many worlds. Clone Commandos had retractible Knuckle plate vibro blades.
