[Source] The Kishakk blade was a knife that the Wookiees of Kashyyyk used for prying open the shells of various crustaceans and bugs. It translated from the Wookiee language Shyriiwook as "bramble thorn." While they were primarily used for eating, Grand Moff Lozen Tolruck used them as a melee weapon. On one occasion, he flung a Kishakk blade at the turncoat Imperial loyalty officer Sinjir Rath Velus prior to the liberation of Kashyyyk.
