On the flat side of the blade are small quillion which are used to catch the blades of enemy swords. The rantok was designed to be either one or two handed: it is lethal either way. The Unfyr used the sword for any and all military purposes and it was also a highly regarded ceremonial weapon. For ages, it was used by all Ka'hren warriors. It remained the preferred Ka'hren weapon even after the introduction of ranged weapons. Eventually, however, blasters and such weaponry replaced the blades, and the Unfyr, unwilling to accomodate the new technology, have essentially become extinct.
