The '''curveblade''' is a [[Sangheili]] [[melee]] weapon.<ref name="Return">'''Halo: Evolutions''', ''The Return'', ''page 509''</ref><ref name="Waypoint">[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/gallery/energy-sword/87ebf6e2-3874-4e5c-8133-b72c20a46d7f '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Energy Sword'']</ref> The blade was historically used for hunting and close-quarters combat, becoming the standard in those roles long before the formation of the [[Covenant]], though variants of the ancient design continued to be used centuries later. The curveblade's design eventually developed into the Sangheili [[Type-1 energy sword]], which was created through the reverse-engineering of [[Forerunner]] technology.<ref name="Waypoint"/>

The curveblade is a fairly simple weapon, consisting of a single blade and a right-angled handle. Though modern designs are made using metal, the curveblade was originally crafted from hardened resin, found in trees which lined the coastal territories of [[Sanghelios]].<ref name="Waypoint"/> The quartermoon blade was a long, curving knife that was based off of the curveblade and used by [[floatfighting|floatfighters]] in the [[Shield World 0673|Refuge]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 230''</ref>

A [[Unidentified Sangheili Shipmaster (Righteous Vigilance)|Sangheili shipmaster]] wielded a curveblade during his search for guidance on the [[Glassing|glassed]] human world of [[Kholo]] in [[2559]].<ref name="Return"/>

-*"Strength comes from recognizing another's weakness."
-*"When night falls, even the greatest [[colo]] herder, will still smell like a colo"
