Strange and interesting bladed weapons existed looonnnggggg before Star Trek came out.

17th, 18th and 19th C Indian and Central African smiths were very "innovative" in their designs.

Fascinating. Is there someplace on the Internet where can I see more photos and information about Ancient "Fantasy Daggers" like that?
 
Yep, nice, but normal looking.

Just google "ancient african weapons" and you'll get plenty.

Fighting style dictates the look of many of those weapons, and training with them so you don't stab yourself was paramount.

Actually one of the neat things about watching "Deadliest Warrior" is seeing these sorts of things used.
 
so are these functional or ceremonial? theyre sweet either way!
