Where have I seen this exotic weapon before?

I believe it is an Elven Blade Bow from Scarred Lands. It is a weapon of the Elves that live in the Hornsaw forest.

Yep it's a weapon of the Broadreach elves.... you can finds stats for them, and other broadreach weapons, in the Hornsaw source book and the Scarred lands player's guide to fighters and Barbarians

I think you meant 'spiked chain' instead of whip.

That attaches to the top of the bow.

Interestingly enough, the Orcish Archer from the Harbinger Minis set has a similar bow! It has blades mounted towards each end, though they are more like mini axe-blades mounted around the bowshaft.

Essentially, it's a bow with blades at each end, allowing it to be used as both a ranged and (double) melee weapon.

And I thought the two bladed axe was the stupidest thing I had ever seen in a role playing game...

Some silly cartoon or another, I'm certain. What makes for a good bow makes for a terrible haft, and vice-versa.
Even the pike-longbow did not use the pikeshaft for the bow. It mounted the bow at a right angle to the pikeshaft.

Then you've never seen a dire flail.

I have this, I think it was commision but that they might have had it from somewhere else or draw it from somewhere else first.

 

[The Forsaken One]

It's in 2nd ed as well, dunno where but it sure is. Throught and FR supplement under the name "Saberbow".

Just what is sticking out the front of that bow? Is this D&D or the Spice Channel, here?
