Melee weapons are for ending the lives of people conveniently within arm’s reach (see Melee Combat, p. 184). Some runners swear by them, especially those who prefer to kill silently or are afraid of hackers bricking their guns. The damage value of most melee weapons is based on the wielder’s Strength, modified by the weapon.

Victorinox uses their SmartSteel technology to provide a flexible material that can be commanded to stiffen and form a blade. They currently have two “self-defense” designs available for special order. The Belt, a sword length design worn around the waist, and the Bracelet, a design aimed at lady execs who want a little extra protection. Mostly found on executives with too much money, they often find their way into the shadow market after extraction ops.

You need two of the shoes if you want it to look right, but damn is that creative.

Finely crafted but also expensive, the Fineblade line of Cougar products are usually only found in the hands of professionals where they belong. They come in two designs, a long blade, currently crafted in the fashion of a gladius; and a short blade, currently fashioned after the Bowie knife. Previous years’ designs have run the gamut since the introduction of the original Fineblade back in the ‘50s.
