You spelled Klingon wrong...
TheChurchOfUpvote
Nothing special, I made an IKEA bed stand that looked just like half of these once
TerenceTurner
Big curves to get over or around shelds. And multy bladed throwing knives . Caus knife throwing is hard.
ZootCrew
It willlll cut!
GrossIncandescence
Some of these need instruction manuals.
Gineous
That's some Klingon level shit
nofunatparties
There are few weapons cooler than a khopesh. 'Cept maybe a glaive.
absoluttalent
No accompanying information on any of these? Why do i even visit this site anymore...
0penname
Some of those handles look so completely unwieldy.

Remember, a lot of those swords with random phallic parts are phallic for a reason! That reason is penis...
DMQ88
"Make this weapon sharp." "From which side, sir?" "Every side."

Put a knife on that sword - African smith
Anonymous0199846
Those ones are for throwing.

Too much Kapinga, not enough Zulu Spear for my tastes. The Zulu’s had some great tactics for envelopments.

#19 all of em look like the imperial sword.

Here I am sitting here wondering how many lives have been claimed with each weapon displayed.

legit shadow of war orc weapons
ignimbrite
Those multiple-limbed swords? They're meant to be thrown at enemies.
Frost72
Ok a lot of people don’t know this but, some of those are ancient can openers, not weapons.
storebrandproductmascot
They're so huge because this was back in the days before they invented smaller cans.
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
Are you telling me you don't wield your ancient can opener as a weapon?
Boopbeepbeep
I swing my ancient can opener by the cord.
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
That's the spirit!
Bodreaux
Directions for use of the curvy ones: pick up carefully, bend wrist, set weapon down, apply pressure to wound to reduce blood loss.
CptManatee
Some of these seem wildly inefficient.
Tentaclesan
some of these are used for religious or manhood ritual
axelfive
The one with all the pointy bits everwhere? You throw the effing thing. Hella accurate.
FrasierCranesHumongousAss
Until you’re the one on the receiving end :o

I feel like the instructions for most of these start with, “Stand a ways away from anyone you love, and begin flailing.”
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
Beautiful. Have you ever considered pursuing a poetry career path?
axelfive
A good chunk of them are throwing weapons, believe it or not. Yes, including the one with the pointy bits everywhere. ESPECIALLY that one.
GendouLovesDucklings
#1: Ngulu; #2: Zande knife; #3: Mambele; #4: Ngulu again; #5: Kpinga; #6: Ada-ogun; #7: Konda; #8: Mambele; #9: Kpinga
Tentaclesan
#12: Flyssa
GendouLovesDucklings
#10: Not sure, could be a Konda made for tourist/trade; #11: Mambele
GendouLovesDucklings
Yeah, I'm not gonna do all 40 of these. Lot of Mambele/Kpinga/Hunga-Munga swords/daggers in there, along with some really interesting stuff.
iwishiwereclever
I feel like a lot of these are purely ceremonial, but I’m no anthropologist
ColdDeadWood
I would guess many are status symbols as well. People have always liked bragging with cool shit.
annfranksbhole
I'm an internet anthropologist and yes a good bit are ceremonial so they're not exactly weapons
DaJoW
The ones like #3 are surprisingly practical - they're thrown and most of the time they'll pierce the target with lots of force.
TheJokeWrecker
It seems like some of these are pointless.
tomwaits
The clubs atleast
foxbow
I wouldn't say it so bluntly.
FuriousMonkey
No, they have plenty of points.
MangoLassi
swordsnguns
I am an anthropologist, once removed, and yes, several are ceremonial
swordsnguns
Although in addendum, most of warfare is ceremonial in non-industrial societies, so there ya go
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
Pfft, "anthropologist once removed." I'm an anthropologist-in-law and I concur. Jk, I'm not married and am actually just an apologist. Sorry

A lot of these are intended to be "hey look at how big my dick is." I'm not kidding.
FrasierCranesHumongousAss
Africans already have huge cocks, though so why would they be overcompensating? :o
somanywonders987
Actually that's kind of a myth. Prosthetics, wide angles and small actresses lead to that belief in porn.
vowofloudness
Do those tricks only work on black dongs?
FrasierCranesHumongousAss
I meant actual African guys lol Like from Africa, not Americans lol
Salai
gayromeo says west africans have statistically the second biggest cocks..bigges t is arab cock, smallest north korean due to bad nutrition.
somanywonders987
How do you think they check that, go up and ask them?
