Your photo picture adds to the comment so much. "Look I'm just saying."

The best advantage to kill an enemy with Shotel,you must to cut the stomach and other organs like kidney,liver etc,cause this deals a lot of damage,and a very brutal move

Seems all of them forgot bladed on both sides. The side that curves away from the target could cut like a scythe/Kama if they use it right, and those things take off limbs.

This blade here also has a back side edge... sometimes... I think hitting with the outer curve edge would slice bone

High respect for featuring this weapon, but I want to share some refinements. To be more specific, the Shotel is an Ethiopian weapon. It’s not a general African weapon. Also it was very effectively used against Italian forces. The fencing technique does occasionally use the concave, but it also is/was used as much on the convex edge. Lastly, the “skilled” fighting flow is a sphere (I emphasized skilled because lesser-trained warriors didn’t have formal teachers and simply used it much like a sickle). It is one of the only weapons that uses a spherical ideology for handling (weapon) and movement (body) hence why its grip is rounded. Away from the ancient use against shields and armor, it was used to also lock straight weapons by spinning it. You also could use it on horse back (often longer version with imported European blades). You could also rotate it around the wrist using the convex edge, which was a majority of the way it was used in direct combat (this approach drastically increases slice velocity). Some even used it on the end of a rope. Anyway, there are multiple styles and it is a very complex but highly effective weapon. Thank you very much for featuring.

"The shotel from *AFRICA*"

Noob Saibot's weapon of choice

they need people who have some idea what they are talking about, it seems. the shotel was sharp on both edges, they did not show any cuts with the outside of the curve, the inside was for going around an opponents shield, the outside for lopping off bits, like heads, arms, legs....and please do not cut hard plastics, and cooked/dried cow thigh bones, etc with swords designed to cut thru humans, the steel they were made from isn't a modern tool steel with a precise heat treatment and edge geometry designed to pass their tests. it's blade abuse. like 'forged in fire' what they do to weapons is not reality, it's just showmanship. and, ali, the celurit, a cool sickle weapon, was normally sharp only on the inside of the curve.

i wish they'd compare and contrast the weapons with more famous weapons more. Like how is the Shotel better or worse than your standard longsword? what are it's advantages and disadvantages? How and why did it develop? Who used it and when? A good example is the scimitar: it had a similar curved shape, was better than the longsword as a slashing/hacking weapon, and was developed for use on horseback (hence its curved shape similar to the saber which it helped inspire). It was however not as useful at stabbing, wasnt as useful at fencing/1 on 1 sword fights, and wasnt as useful coupled with a shield than the longsword. i like this show but their analysis basically boiled down to "it's an African sword and can stab and/or cut people" and then they cut some PVC, which is useless as a comparison to a human body and they obviously just included it to look cool, which they failed at since PVC isnt that interesting of a target. They should have use a gel torso, a dead pig/side of beef, a big bone, a manniquin, or something that would at least look cool getting cut like a watermelon.

Is it possible to buy a shotel? Or have one made?

Yeah, about the shield test. No warrior in their right mind would keep their shield that close to their bodies. At the very least, it would be at upper arm length. At most, about 3/4 arm length. The only shields that would be held that close to the body would be heavy shields used in battle formation, like the Greek phalanx or the Roman legion. And in those tight formations, no blade would able to get around them. So, of couse the Shotel would get around that tiny shield and hit the sandbag placed ridiculously close to the shield. Pretty inaccurate test.
