Im not super deep on Star Wars lore, I looked up Ryyk blade on Wookiepedia. They seem to be sorta of a ceremonial blade? Would it be fitting to be clearing brush with something like this?
I would imagine that hacking their way through the jungle is probably unusual for Wookies, they'd normally just climb and jump between the trees, but not everyone here can do that.
Some of them may be specifically for ceremonies and others not so much.
Below, I'll be paraphrasing and quoting from the Star Wars D20 Arms and Equipment Guide (page 29):
"The traditional melee weapon of the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, a ryyk blade is a long machete with a hide wrapped grip." The book shows two pictures on the page, one being a curved sickle-like knife, the other looks like a big machete (the kind previously owned by Shaam). The book indicates that "blade and grip designs vary widely" and "all have their origin in broad blades originally used to clear overgrowth and later adapted into melee weapons."
This really is the only exotic weapon or device that you've all come across as of yet. I plan on drawing out what the blade looks like and as time goes on, and you all find more things, I'll elaborate in a Exotic Weapons and Strange Devices Thread.
But back to the point: I think the blade would be perfect for hacking through vegetation, in fact, it has a secondary function to do just that.
