👉 The Adelaide weapon, also known as the Adelaide bayonet or the Adelaide cutlass, is a distinctive Australian military weapon that emerged in the mid-19th century. It was primarily used by Australian colonial forces, particularly during conflicts like the Frontier Wars and later in the colonial military. The Adelaide weapon is a large, double-edged cutlass with a distinctive blade shape and a length that makes it suitable for both close-quarters combat and as a versatile tool. Its design allowed for effective slashing and thrusting, making it a formidable weapon in the hands of skilled soldiers. The blade is typically made from high-quality steel, and the weapon often features a distinctive grip and hilt design, reflecting both practicality and the cultural identity of the Australian forces that wielded it.
