While most duelers prefer the chaka, its unusual size makes it difficult to carry around, so the hrisal was invented as a more "everyday" weapon. The single-edged blade spans up to 60 cm long and has a slight backward curve at the end, reminiscent of the Human scimitar. It can have a mass of up to 1 kg. The grip is just a simple handle covered in leather. They are quite popular on Andoria, and many wear one everywhere they go.
