The Monk's spade is
a famous weapon of Shaolin Temple. Though it did serve to protect the
wielder on journeys, its secondary use was to fulfill the monk's religious
responsibility to the dead by burying them.
Due to its fan-like
shape, the Monk Spade performed ably as a shovel for digging, hence its
name. Our practice version is comprised of two hollow, chrome-plated steel
heads affixed to a black wooden shaft. |
