As a result of how simplistic their design are, they proved popular with downtrodden individuals like [[Chaos]] [[Cultist]]s for example. Although more industrialised factions like the [[Death Korps of Krieg]] are known to favour them over the basic knife (don't let the Shovel jokes fool you), which checks out considering their inspirations. Their mauls appear to be designed after the famous WWI trench mauls, consisting of a simple wooden handle with a heavy gear for the mace head.

	Charnabal Sabres are master-crafted swords used often by Imperial nobles and anyone smug enough to warrant wielding such a weapon. It is one of the few Imperial close combat weapons that follows the [[Eldar]] principle on the reliance on speed and dexterity rather than brute force for its lethality. Despite being conventional sabres, these things are so fucking good and so fucking sharp that it somehow rivals a [[Power weapon]] [[Wat\|in cutting power.]] This is technically possible for a curved, mono-molecular blade if you move it swiftly enough and it at the optimum angle for whatever shape the surface you are striking is and if you understand the materials' strengths and weaknesses well enough.

	The Charnabal Sabre's origins can be traced back to the ancient dueling societies, assassin cults and bloody vendettas of the Terran Court during the [[Age of Strife]]. The pure metal of these blades was press-folded and stamped scores of times over before being micro-serrated with a fractal-sharp edge. The master swordsmiths of Terra were each said to have their own rituals of forging, impressing a distinct pattern in each bespoke blade as legible as a signature to those with the wit to read them.

Named after the Catachan Devil - the fearsome predator of the Catachan jungles, this is the largest type of the traditional knives of Catachan. Anywhere between three and four feet long, the Devil's Claw is closer to a sword than a knife. Rather, it is literally a shortsword.

	The blade is hollow and half filled with mercury to give it greater swinging power. It is used mainly on the battlefield in close quarters and it has even achieved a fearsome reputation amongst Orks, who call it 'Da Cutta'. Catachan Power Swords are often identical in design to the Devil's Claw. The elite Catachan Devil Squads are also partly named after these knives, which they wield in battle.

			[[File:Mono-Hook.PNG\|200px\|right\|thumb\|Mono-Hook]]
			Mono-Hooks [[pretend\|despite its name]], isn't a weapon made out of a single hook blade. Rather, Mono-Hooks are so named due to being sharpened to a monomolecular edge like those of a [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Monomolecular Sword\|Monomolecular Sword]].

			They are still relatively basic and simple weapons however, as they are only used by [[Ash Waste Nomads]] of [[Necromunda]], and only by the [[Nomad Chieftan]]. They resemble more like a un-powered Power Klaw and is fitted on like a glove weapon; akin to that of Edward Scissorhands.

			Due to their small size, Mono-Hooks on the Necromundan tabletop is swifter and easier to use than the [[Chain Weapon#Chain Lance\|Chain Lance]], with a shit ton of attack potential. However, it lacks the same levels of versatility and balls-out damage than the latter.
