Tiger hook swords are considered one of the most effective yet difficult weapons most martial art systems.

Wielded in pairs, one could cut, slice, chop and stab like a normal sword, while using the hooked ends to catch, trap and cut their enemy's weapon or limbs. The crescent bladed hand-guard and bladed pommel also served for blocking, punching and stabbing techniques. In the old day of China, this weapon was feared by many swordsmen.
