Weapon of the Day - Urumi
This is a sweet weapon. One has to see it in action to believe it. The is a 'sword' though I might call it a metal whip. The blade of the urumi is constructed of flexible steel such that the blade is in motion like a whip when used. It has a hilt with a cross guard. It is very difficult to master and is used similar to a flail (though requires less energy). There can be a single blade or numerous blades. The Sri Lankan version had 32 blades.

Actually, the sword you chose to represent the urumi isn't actually one. I've seen it before, it was located in a Dutch burial site - and suggested to be entirely ornamental.
