With the sonic scalpel on the horizon could we eventually see sonic knives and swords?
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Well cool! I love it when science makes science fiction real. 

Well it is all a matter of developing the tech.

I'm just patiently waiting for the light saber. In addition to hearing it I also like to see the blade. Wink
I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

You all could visit disney and build your own lightsaber....
The sound is great but the blade is not that impressive.
