Knife
Date20th century
Label TextAzande blades have extremely good flight characteristics. Some reports claim that they have the ability to spin across the surface of a shield and around behind to attack their victim. This remains undocumented, however, since most of these weapons had become items of trade and ceremonial use by the time they were collected.
