A k'tok is a single-edged sword of Narn design.

Narn bodyguards carry k'tok. According to tradition, once a k'tok has been drawn, it cannot be sheathed until it has drawn blood. Ta'Lon owned a k'tok and obeyed the custom in spite of not using it in a fight, cutting his own hand.[1]

Notes

  • K'tok bear a striking resemblance to Earth wakizashi. Their straightness makes them closer to the variant used by ninja than those used by samurai.
