THESE ITEMS WERE SAID TO BE SHAOLIN CARRING POLES ALSO USED FOR FIGHTING. 19 CENTURY COLLECTED IN THE KHENTII MOUNTAINS IN HONAN WHICH IS A SHAOLIN AREA. THEY ARE 206 CM. LONG WITH 15 CM. LONG IRON TIPS AND WEIGH 2.00 KG AND HAVE A 2 METER SPINNING RADIUS. SAID TO BE USED AGAINST BANDITS OR BEARS. THERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES WITH SOME VARIATION. ITS SOMETHING I HAD NOT SEEN SO THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN ONLY GET ONE OF THE THREE PICTURES TO LOAD

. THE PICTURE IS OF ONE END OF A POLE AND THE OTHER END WOULD BE THE SAME WITH A SHAFT CONNECTING THE TWO.
