Description: The trillpa is the standard Vulcan sword. Its design has remained almost unchanged for thousands of years. It consists of a long, straight, double-edged blade and a hilt with a single-edged crescent-shaped blade for a guard. This scythe0guard helps make the trillpa a superb parrying and blocking weapon. The finest modern trillpa are hand-made using highly advanced metallurgical techniques. Today most trillpa are made of a laminated composite of duranium and tritanium. A trillpa can be used as either a one- or a two-handed weapon and is extremely lightweight. Trillpa fighting involves many elegant, circular movements, using a mixture of slashes and thrusts which is both beautiful and deadly.
