Kava's?

I was watching the discovery channel and they talked about a weapon that was developed from scythes, since the farmer's were not allowed weapons and so they used scythes. Does anybody know anything about these weapons?

 

dunno, I suppose Kama's kinda look like minature blunt scythes.

I think I'll just shut up now.

 

Yup I train in them. GO to the photo album and search for Kama and you should find some.

 

now are talking about Asia or Europe?

I know that in Europe a farmer would reattach the head of the scythe so that it was inline with the haft making it more spear like, and it was apparently a vicious polearm.

 

those crazy crazy farmers.

anyone ever tried using a shovel or a fork as a weapon? I reckon they'd be pretty damn effective.

 

shovels are nasty. you sould see what one will do to a wall I shudder at what it can do to a human.
