Many years ago there was discussion on this sight (June, 2002) about the siangham. Revolving around whether or not it is a real weapon.
Well, I have been reseraching it since then...no wait.
I found that article while searching for info about the siangham...that's correct.
What I have found is that the siangham is a little known weapon that may be real.
Here is its Wikipedia entry .
Apparently it is used in the martial arts style Kuntao which really is just a Chinese word for fighting, but there are Kuntao schools.
The closest actual image I could find that resembled the descriptions I have found is of the Japanese Jutte: http://www.e-budokai.com/exhibit/images/L-R_last_four_jutte.jpg
Please let me know if you have more info or if my info is wrong. I hate using weapons that I have no idea what are for, even if it is for a fantasy game.
