Okay this is a short post but it is meant to get point across... its not a nerf or a buff just a visual difference...
i collect and avidly use knives and swords. nd i was poking around some sites and saw this ----> http://www.smkw.com/large/knife/DBHK6090.jpg
as soon as i saw this i knew that looks so much better than the current nova knives that type of design (because if anyone has tried to stab something with a combat knife they know it is somewhat hard and sometimes painful to do depending on the hardness and depth of it.
this design removes that problem by making more of a leverage on thrusting ability, looks REALLY BAD A$$!!!, and probably makes more sense than loose knives.
This is just my opinion on how knives should look... i run them pretty frequently and think this design would look better be seen as more functional and have a quicker animation for attack. |

main problem with arm blades like that is the amount of leverage they have on the forearm. Block a good blow and it could break your arm, power armour would probably spread the load out enough it wouldn't matter. If any one buys those and don't try parrying a sword blow swung with any real force on the blade, it will all be transferred to one point on only one of the bones in the arm.
Nova knives are mainly used to cut it seams rather then stab, the lost mobility from not having the wrist joint would make this less effective.
They do look cool, it would be a nice addition for a future melee weapon once we get the other 3 races knives. Some pirate faction may favor arm blades.
Those blades are available on amazon as well. |

hmm i have noticed that the blow that actually kills the person with nova knives was the stab... the slash only deals damage if accompanied by the stab but the stab can do individual damage...
i noticed nova knives would be kind of like you open up the exterior with the slash then go for the softer parts with the stab.
stabbing interrupts vital processes and greatly reduces the anger of the attacker....
but slashing you may bleed but you won't die or suffer to many ill effects and it doesn't really have the same stopping force.
i can see the ammar using some wierd blade along these lines that pops out of the top of there wrist in a dual action punching motion? and it is all gold bedazled and stuff with a glowing white blade...
the minmatar having some type of rag tag old butcher type knife on a stick that uses some slash chop technique that glows a medium redish?
and gallente having sort of an inward curved blade that they use some hand over hand technique kind of like a scissor? you cross your arms and then swing out ripping a nasty gash in anything? |

I would love to see the nova knives create some cool visual effect on the players you killed. like seeing cuts that glow on the players as they fall to the ground from nova knives. |

you can have cool "visual effects", but as a trade off when a nova knifer completely flops a murder attempt the add this sound effect |
