DEFINITELY NOT A LOVE STICK, TOO FANCY FOR A AUSTRALIAN NULLANULLA, ALSO NOT A SOUTH PACIFIC ARROW OR SPEAR POINT. THE WOOD DOES LOOK LIKE SOME USED IN AFRICA AND AUSTRALIA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I LIKE IT AND IT IS VERY WELL MADE.

HERE ARE TWO WEAPONS FROM MICRONESIA THEY ARE GRIPPED IN THE CENTER AND CAN BE USED TO STRIKE IN EITHER DIRECTION GOOD FOR CLOSE IN FIGHTING. BOTH ARE WOOD WITH FIBER WRAPPED GRIPS ONE HAS ROUND SPIKES THE OTHER IS DOUBLE EDGED THICK BLADE SHAPED. BOTH ARE A LOT SHORTER THAN YOUR EXAMPLE ALL THE BETTER FOR CLOSE UP.
