The Aztecs had a seriously nasty weapon that was sort of a cross between a club and a sword. It had a wood handle with obsidian blades glued into it -- blades so sharp some surgeons today actually prefer them to surgical steel. The blades would often imbed themselves into the enemy's flesh and stay there -- ouch!

Seriously nasty weapon. Maybe Michonne on "The Walking Dead" should get hold of one.
