Trivia
Between Update 18.0 (2015-12-03) and Hotfix 18.0.6.1 (2015-12-09), the Shaku was unintentionally leaked through the Tenno Research Lab before being retrieved.
The Shaku is the second weapon in game after the Sonicor to possess only a single physical damage type as its innate damage type.
A shaku (尺) is a Japanese unit of measurement originally referring to the length of the forearm, which in modern usage is commonly standardized as being 30.3 cm long, and is the traditional length with which the branches of a nunchaku are made.
The term is also used to refer to a ritual baton used by Shinto priests, and is so named due to its length.
