 ==== The Borderlands Gray Market ====
-During the Beta Age, as [[the_humans|exohuman settlers]] established outposts like [[morningstar|Morningstar]], the sheer efficiency of the knife caught the attention of frontier trappers, rangers, and scouts. Because the Senti fiercely protect their crafting secrets, genuine knives became a high-value commodity in gray-market trade. Shady outfitters and frontier weapon-smiths often acted as middlemen, taking "special orders" from wealthy settlers and using tribal contacts to secure the blades under the table.

 ==== The Venom Harvesting Ritual ====
-To transform the tool into a lethal defense weapon, scouts apply **Senti Venom**. The toxin is not native to the steppes; instead, veteran hunters undertake dangerous, ritualized expeditions across the ecological border into the scorching [[Desert Side|Desert Side]]. There, they track and extract the highly volatile crystal-venom from the prismatic barbs of the macro-arachnid [[Akzna|Akzna]]. Once harvested, tribal artisans use ancient safety techniques to distill and set the neurotoxin onto the bone blades, where it bonds to the porous structure without degrading.
