Shaolin spade
Appearance
A shaolin spade is a tool traditionally used by Shaolin monks in the far East. It consists of a hardwood shaft roughly six feet long with a bell-shaped spade at one end and a crescent-shaped blade at the other. While this was an effective agricultural apparatus, its true use was as a weapon. Wielded by the masterful Shaolin monks, the spade could decapitate a person with a single blow.
In Popular Culture
The shaolin spade was listed in The Zombie Survival Guide as a highly effective hand-to-hand anti-zombie weapon, as it can decapitate a rotting corpse with ease and its length allows users to engage opponents at a distance.
