Latest Massim black palm lance club.
 

Just arrived L 1.35m blade width 7cm. Not sure how one would put a name to this form of stabbing club. This could be used as a bludgeon but they are generally relatively light weight and I thick more of a stabbing weapon, a short lance rather than a sword club. I show it with two other versions of similar weight. I wish I had not sold the others I had when I liquidated the bulk of my collection a few years ago. Also all three with a similar at first glance shaped weapon from Brazil/Guyana borders. The South American club is heavy with a 5cm diamond blade cross section making it quite a different weapon, crushing blows as well stabbing but much slower to swing around.

Very nice war clubs. Why do you think that the Massim ones are lances as opposed to sword clubs? I agree that they could be used for stabbing however they probably weigh at least as much as a European sword and in skilled hands, they could easily break a collar bone, a limb, or crack a skull and disable a foe. I remember recently reading how the Spanish Conquistadores were impressed by the skill of the Aztecs who wielded their sword clubs; the difference being that theirs were wood and the Spaniards being of steel.

You got me thinking, so I weighed the new club and the South American club. I was surprised. The South American club feels much heavier but is only 136g heavier than the new Massim club 1.385kg vs 1.249kg Must be a phycological thin having a bigger shape. I have had many clubs under a kilo, so they are a sabre like as well as stabbing.

Might be a weight distribution thing. Since these are pointed with such a long gradual taper, more mass will be nearer the hand, so they'd feel more agile than a club that is wider near the tip.
