Some kind of Eastern weapon

Evgeny_K · 24th November 2020, 08:44 PM

Dear colleagues,
Just wondering if this "weapon" has any real prototype or it's a fantasy thing?
Thanks in advance for the answers!

For me it's fantasy. I think it's not forged but cast.

Nope!

Neither Eastern, nor Western and not even weapon, but purely fantasy "thing."

These "things" (because I cannot in good faith call it a weapon) are completely unpractical as even a kitchen knife, and possibly even a fork is more effective.
Not to mention John Wick's pencil...

Looks like skulators pizza cutter

ie. fantasy thing imho.

It looks like something inspired by a haladie. But, that would have 3 dagger blades instead of the silly pizza slicer.

with this excellent actor, Wesley Snipes...

These are very different as they don-t have the useless front/push/pizza-cutting edge.

Moreover, the under-grip edge might be extremely effective (like a korambi/lavi ayam knife)...

while the upper edge might also be effective... at injuring the wielder.

Guys,

This is another fantasy item bearing little, if any, resemblance to an ethnographic weapon. As noted in another recent thread, which I closed for off topic comments, this Forum is not about fantasy items. I realize these are difficult times and folks want to have a bit of fun. However, let's get back to the title of this Forum--ethnographic arms and armour. There are other sites that address the fantasy stuff.

Ian.
