CRYSKNIFE — Definition from Imperial Archives, Commentary from Count Fenring

Definition: the sacred knife of the Fremen on Arrakis. It is manufactured in two forms from teeth taken from dead sandworms. The two forms are "fixed" and "unfixed." An unfixed knife requires proximity to a human body's electrical field to prevent disintegration. Fixed knives are treated for storage. All are about 20 centimeters long.
Commentary: The information from the archives seems surprisingly complete considering that for decades the Harkonnen have had a bounty offering a million solaris for an intact crysknife. Which makes me wonder who has been editing the Imperial Archives?
