{{IntWik|Destination=Zeremoniendolch}}{{TauPortal}}[[Image:HonorKnife.jpg|thumb|right|Tau Bonding Knife and sheath]]The '''Bonding Knife''' is a ceremonial knife that serves as part of the [[Tau]] ritual of the '''[[Ta'lissera''']], in which a unit group is bonded as brothers and as a group. They then carry the knife with the unit showing they have bonded, although it is not designed for use in combat. Battlesuits may also bond, although they do not need to carry the knife, instead they may paint a figure together through ritualistic cutting of a knife somewhere on the battlesuittheir flesh.{{Fn|1b}}

==Ta'lisseraOverview=='''Ta'lissera''' Following their ritual bonding the knife is then carried into battle by the team leader, although it is not designed for use in actual combat, and serves as a reminder of the sacred bond the group shares. Fire Warriors who serve as part of a ceremony that may be performed by Tau [[Fire WarriorBattlesuit]]s commit to support each other even unto death. This closely bonds team may also undergo the unit closely and promotes acts process, although instead of heroism within carrying the actual knife into battle the team leader may instead paint a unitknife design onto his armour.{{Fn|1a}} ==See Also==*[[Honour Blade]]*[[Tau Equipment (List)]]*[[Ta'lissera]]
