Here's a challenge for you. In David Edding's Belgariad series an assassin (named Brill) uses a weapon called a Dagashi adder-sting, which is some kind of thrown weapon that can be hooked around corners if one is proficient.If I recall correctly, it is described as a small triangluar metal dart, which was apparently used to deliver all manner of nasty toxins.
Nothing special about that, just an equilateral triangle with the edges sharpened. The pointy "ninja star" is an anachronism the real things (which were nothing more than a handleless throwing knife) were more often than not triangles with the edges sharpened. And just like a frisby the right angle and spin would make them hook.

True. But the fun is in making it look cool...

This tetsubo is actually two separate sections, joined at the middle. There is a solid steel rod that passes down the center of both sections. Nuts at either end hold the tetsubo together.

So what's that for?

It strengthens the entire structure. Additionally it means you don't have to find one piece of wood that long that is strong enough for the job. You can find two shorter sections which is much easier.

I have a bamboo walking stick. It looks like something you might find at a carnival as a cheap prize. But there is a threaded steel rod that runs down the entire center of the bamboo. It will easily support my 195 pounds. It also has a whale's tooth grip set with a stone. But it looks rather weak and structurally unsound...

This is probably going to be answered in 2 seconds, but i've never been able to find it anywhere.

If your familiar with the Demonhunter from Warcraft III. What are his dual blades called?
And have you ever drawn them?
