Tuesday Afternoon with Tear-Shaped Fuller Sirupati

[John Shields]

Hi Aunt Yangdu! Are these traditionally used as weapons or tools? And what advantages does this type of curvature offer? Would love to see a video of this blade in action.

From what I hear the Sirupati is a slimmer more agile weapon than a tool. That's not to say it can't handle a lot of hard chopping work. But even the description on their site is that it's used for Martial Arts.
