👉 A square weapon, often referred to as a "square," is a type of handheld weapon characterized by its rectangular, square or diamond-shaped blade. These weapons are typically made of metal and can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes, with some variations designed for slashing or piercing attacks. The square shape provides a compact and versatile design, making them easy to conceal and handle in close combat situations. Historically, square weapons have been used by various cultures and martial arts traditions, including some forms of karate and taekwondo, where they are employed for their effectiveness in close-quarters combat.
