Assegai

An assegai is a long and pointy stick with a sharp end that is used like a spear. It comes from Africa and was traditionally used as a hunting and fighting weapon by tribes. The assegai was made by sharpening a thin and sturdy piece of wood or metal into a sharp and pointed end. People would hold the assegai with their hand and use it to throw or stab at their enemies or prey. It was important for people to have good aim and be strong enough to throw the assegai far and accurately. The assegai has been used for a long time and is still sometimes used today in parts of Africa for hunting or ceremonies.
