Dead blade

Dead blade was a term used by the Jedi in reference to any non-energized bladed melee weapon. This was in direct contrast to weapons such as lightsabers, which were in essence entirely energized, and vibroblades, which were characterized by their energized vibration, which made them more effective at cutting through various substances. Dead blades were typically only used by primitive cultures or those without high technology.
