The electro chute blade was a type of weapon manufactured on Xia. It was a long, elegant sword with a dark, blue-tinged blade which appeared to shift and swirl. The hilt had two knobs surrounded by numbers. A miniaturized version of the chute field technology used on Metru Nui was installed in the hilt of the device. A knob labeled "M" controlled the density of the field. The blade itself was formed from metallic liquid protodermis, which was electrified and contained by the force field. The field could be adjusted to allow the blade to pass through solid objects and shock them with electricity.1
