Untitled comment

I've seen two totally different designs for this weapon, one was the one pictured, the other was more like a very long sword that was flexible. Kjrajesh (talk) 10:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dandpatta

Is this weapon related to the Maharashtrian Dandpatta? --Kunal ^(Talk) 09:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This weapon is used in Kerala. It is trained in Kalaripayyattu. Kjrajesh (talk) 10:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Curious

How does this weapon fare against armored opponents? --208.179.66.227 (talk) 06:48, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was used in the battlefields of the Malabar coast against opponents armed with bucklers. Full armour (apart from chain mail for high ranking officials) was not very common in that area 2a02:c7f:461d:bd00:c80f:a4df:dfc9:41dd|2a02:c7f:461d:bd00:c80f:a4df:dfc9:41dd (talk) 23:31, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
