This is a Lang Xian (Wolf's Lance)

It is a pike made out of a bamboo tree tipped with a spearhead with some of its branches left on. It is basically an area denial weapon used initially versus wild animals and afterwards versus pirates.

The Lang Xian's most famous usage was its role in Qi Jiguang's "Mandarin Duck Formation." A small unit tactic developed to fight pirates, Lang Xian men would position themselves in the flanks to drive usually sword armed infantry into spearmen. If the spears missed, swordsmen inserted between the gaps will engage the cunt.

The Macuahuitl

Used by Native Americans (mainly the Meshika people)

They didn't have metallurgy skills so they relied on obsidian blades

>>1941177

To chop better. And not ''first swords'' because straight ones existed as well dumb americunt.

>>1941354
aparently the hook was used to pull a shield open or away from an enemy, and the point at the end still has some stabbing use since it was in line with the handle enough

>>1941177
It must be a wicked weapon considering that obsidian is sharper than steel.

>>1940691

Now that is a cool looking weapon! Should be called the Sword of the Sun or something

Probably more effective as a fashion statement than a weapon.

>>1939072
>>1939073
>>1939075
they had these really weird swords because they had really good quality steel, so all swords they made were sharp enough anyway and they got to experiment with shapes, not having to stick to the most simple and effective design.

Nope. And neither's pic related you've probably seen before too.

>>1946157
those artifacts were never found, tho
they are recreations

>>1946554
They were thrown into the sea a thousand years ago by a particularly salty loser after a civil war and then "miraculously washed ashore." We have no idea if they were authentic after that point but we can assume they were at least convincing forgeries.

That's a lantern shield.

Daft looking thing designed for defending fortresses.

I don't imagine they were ever popular; I can imagine some medieval salesman in a three-wheeled cart flogging them castle to castle and getting a lot of portcullises slammed in his face
