Oh right. This is a weapons blog. Macuahuitl, the wood-obsidian sword. One of the most exotic edged weapons ever. Technically it's classified as a club. But still, wood and obsidian. you wouldn't think a wooden sword would work, but it's perfectly fine, and you'd think obsidian is too brittle but if it breaks you can replace it, just slide a new one in. If this thing hits skin.....yikes...

Aztecs didn't wear that much armor, did they. A weapon evolves to do damage, and if your opponent isn't wearing armor you don't need a strong metal sword, wood is fine. Honestly, does this thing do more damage than a metal sword? This thing completely schreds skin and even worse, it can get pieces of glass stuck in your skin.



While researching this, I also found Hawaiian variants. Same general concept, but with shark teeth. Not sure how reliable the internet is (what's fake and what's not), but one type is called the Leiomano.
