I'd like to add that the Calusa of Florida were known for their sharktooth swords. But I don't know of any surviving examples.
Also, Hawaiian warriors for their leiomano, varieties of shark tooth swords and knuckle-duster-daggers... Unlike the kribati warriors, they were not known to have much armor, though the Hawaiians did have capes which could be used to help deflect... and the object often was to kill... Having said that, yes I agree with Vandoo, sharktooth weapons seem to be only good against naked flesh. |
