I guess the OP meant this hook sword
https://www.mandarinmansion.com/item/chinese-hook-sword https://www.mandarinmansion.com/item/chinese-hook-sword
It does have a strange shape, and indeed I don't think I saw anything similar in other cultures.
- saagarjha 7y agoAh, that makes more sense. I was looking for a sword "near the bottom" of the article itself and saw just the curved sword; the hook sword was past the end.
- 7thaccount 7y agoAh, I shouldn't been more descriptive lol
- trianglem 7y agoThis is more of an axe than a sword.
- ckcheng 7y agoAre you looking at it backwards? I think the axe looking part is a guard for the hands. See how it's held: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_sword https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_sword
- Leary 7y agooh.. Well, here's a kinda similar European version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_(weapon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_(weapon)
- chewxy 7y agoThis looks like a pre-Bat'leth.
- 7thaccount 7y agoI think Worf does have some smaller versions of these in an episode (one for each hand).
- 7thaccount 7y agoYes, I'm well aware that curved swords are common (scimitar, calvary saber, katana, wakizashi...etc), but that hook sword is just out there.
