Description
One of the more devious weapons that has recently gained popularity among Ellisian war maidens and their lords alike.

The design puts nearly all of the weight at the hooked tip and pommel, and hardly any at all elsewhere. This allows tremendous force to be applied to that wicked little point both during overhand chops, and when thrown.

The dip adds utility for hooking an enemy's weapon and then twisting it from their hand. Lesser blades may even be broken by this sort of parry. This same 'catch, then twist' routine has also been used to great effect on the enemy's limbs themselves.

Apart from the the potential the war sickle has as a fighting, throwing, and parrying knife, it has also made itself useful for more ordinary tasks. The hook just as well performs as a climbing tool, machete, ice pick, and back-scratcher.
