The vibrocutlass was a type of vibro weapon that possessed a blade and a hilt. Once such vibrocutlass had a curved silver blade and a hilt in the shape of a green dragon with a red crystal embedded into the end. Another type of vibrocutlass was the bundki vibrocutlass, which could be charged and possessed a black-and-gold hilt with a straight blade that forked into two points at the tip.
The bundki vibrocutlass was utilized by the Hylobon Enforcers, a group of Hylobon security personnel who served the crime lord Dryden Vos, public face of the Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate, aboard his yacht, the First Light. Toht Ra, a Hylobon Enforcer who acted as an attendant, confiscating guests' weaponry as they boarded the yacht, possessed a charged bundki vibrocutlass. Ra kept his vibrocutlass at the ready, alongside a percussive cannon, in case of trouble.
In the new Star Wars canon, the vibrocutlass was first mentioned on a card within Legacies, a card pack for the game Star Wars: Destiny released in February of 2018, which featured artwork by Joel Hustak. When posting the card's artwork on Instagram, Hustak identified the pictured vibrocutlass as belonging to Hondo Ohnaka, though this information is not mentioned on the Destiny card.
The 2018 Anthology film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, featured the weapon's first appearance through the bundki vibrocutlass, which was identified as such in the corresponding reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, written by Pablo Hidalgo.
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the vibrocutlass was first mentioned in Star Wars Miniatures Battles, a core rulebook for the West End Games tabletop game system of the same name written by Stephen Crane and Paul Murphy and published in 1991.
