👉 A turning weapon, also known as a spiked or flail sword, is a type of bladed weapon characterized by its broad, often curved blade with a central spiked or dented section. This design allows the weapon to deliver powerful, sweeping strikes capable of both cutting and piercing. The spiked or dented area not only adds a visual flair but also serves a practical purpose by increasing the weapon's lethality, as it can inflict significant damage upon impact. Historically, turning weapons were popular in various cultures and martial arts, particularly for their versatility in close combat and their ability to break through armor or shields.
