Yawara

... that the yawara is a Japanese weapon that is used for martial arts and was used by American police?

Reviewed: Pueblo pottery
Comment: DYKcheck states that the article wasn't expanded 5x, but it was. I needed 7,070 characters and I expanded it to 7,177 characters.

5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Long enough, expansion is new enough (confused in DYK check due to previous versions) and well cited. Consider using the image? Maury Markowitz (talk)

Maury Markowitz Thanks for the review. I added the image (though I was hoping for an image of the modified one that includes miniature claws on one end - it sounds pretty cool). SL93 (talk) 16:16, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
