I will list off some exotic ones rather than the ones everyone has seen already
- Bagh Nakh - easily concealable, worn on your hand so its hard to lose your grip. Bagh means Tiger, and Nakh means Nails. (Marathi).
2. Katar - ever notice how its kind of hard to stab the upper body of someone with a knife without craning your wrist over really hard? This weapon solves that issue.
3. Eastern woodland native ball headed war club - the ball head at the end ensures maximum force is transferred to the enemy via the small area of impact. Also note the forward curvature, further increasing the power.
4. Gunstock war club - same points as the previous one, but longer, 2 handed making it even stronger, and note the little steel edge added on the back.
5. Zulfiqar - a sword believed to have been used by the son-in-law of Muhammad the prophet and lost to time, the design has been used by others throughout history. There isn’t really an explanation for the fork at the tip.
6. Kanabo - a big stick used to bludgeon armored opponents. Note the steel knobs. It’s 2 handed but it can be made smaller to be 1 handed.
