The Royal Engineer pulled one out for examination. Of a minimalist style, the dull, silvery metal was uniform in color, the shape symmetrical, the body flat. There was only the double-edged blade, a small pair of bumps to act as a guard, and the handle, all a single piece of steel without adornments, polished to remove any trace of the tools which formed him. Her VIP tried balancing the blade on a finger, noticing how easily the weapon sat on the line made between the two guards.
