Slash Harken

The Slash Harken (スラッシュハーケン) are usually attached in pairs on the hips of a Knightmare Frame. They are wire guided, but can have rockets attached to alter their trajectory. They have a blunt object which can vary in shape, at the end. They can be used in multiple ways varying from offensive to defensive, or as a means of transportation via anchoring them in an object, and retracting the cable. Some Knightmare models change the placement of the Slash Harken to the wrists such as the Tristan, Shen Hu, and the Lancelot which locates pairs both on the wrists and hips. Other variations include the placement of a single Slash Harken in the chest of the Guren, Gekka, Akatsuki, Zangetsu, while the Gawain uses ten Slash Harken in place of its fingertips. The slash harkens that the Tristan uses are capable of combining and releasing an energy blast, while the ones the Shen Hu uses are electrified and also capable of rotating along with the wrists. A slash harken was fitted to the butt of the Seidoutou (sword) used by Kyoshiro Tohdoh's various custom Knightmare Frames.
