<br />
The signature, and probably most lethal, [[Andorian]] weapon is the '''chaka''', sometimes erroneously called the "Andorian dagger" by other species, although it's closer to the traditional short sword in weight and size. It has an unforgettable three-bladed profile. The fighter holds a central haft in his fist. A short blade projects out and up from the fist, while two slender, longer blades protrude to either side.<br />
<br />
Dozens of different variations of this basic model exist. Most ''chakani'' have basket-hiltlike protective coverings over the haft to protect the wielder's fist; others do not, while some adapt the covering into a spiked brass knucklelike punching weapon. Some models lengthen the upward-projecting blade and/or shorten the side blades. Many clans have their own preferred ''chaka'' designs which other Andorians readily recognize.<br />
<br />
A skilled ''chaka'' fighter (called a ''chakashan'') is a dangerous foe. His weapon allows him to punch, slash, chop, and thrust with equal ease, meaning that no angle of attack is denied to him. A fighter must be skilled indeed to come away from a ''chaka'' fighter without some sort of inquiry. The weapon's primary drawback is its relatively short reach; an opponent can use a weapon of greater length, such as the [[dosalnar]] or [[kal'hris]], to strike a ''chakashan'' first.<br />
