It seems that there is still some confusion: shotel is the sickle style sword sharpened on both edges vs. gurade (gorade) which is the sabre sharpened on one edge only. Having said that, this is a detail of a painting depicting the Battle of Dogali. It shows how the shotel was used. This painting (very large) shows a large variety of Abyssinian weapons with almost photographic accuracy.
