The Salampasu sword is a beautiful and traditional weapon that is often used in conjunction with a large shield. The sword has a straight blade with sharp ridges and is primarily used for chopping and cutting attacks. The blade is traditionally made of iron, but during and after the colonial period there were cases of sharper and stronger steel blades. The sheath is made of wood and then covered with leather, decorated with wooden sticks.
