Yes @Beth Gallagher correct, it’s a cheese slicer. I don’t think they’re very common outside of Scandinavia.
They look like hubbbys numb chucks without the rope holding them together.He busted front ofhis head wide open with them once in front of my mother ,she almost fainted,lol.He was good with hem though when he wasn't knocking himself out.He sill has them .
Those things are wicked and unforgiving of anyone who gets in their path, including the wielder. You can find videos of people who are very good with them yet still engage in periodic frontal lobe self-assault. I just looked to refresh my memory on the Japanese name (nunchuck) and found that you can buy a foam-padded set. It's still gotta hurt. I'm trying to find a graceful way to segue from Japanese fighting sticks to back-on-Sweden topic, and I can't do it, so kalops!
@Marie Mallery They are usually called "noon-chucks" colloquially in America. The nunchaku (/nʌnˈtʃækuː/) (Japanese: ヌンチャク, sometimes "nunchuks"[1] (/ˈnʌntʃʌks/), "nunchucks",[2] "chainsticks",[3] "chuka sticks"[4] or "karate sticks"[5] in English; Chinese: 雙節棍) is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks (usually wood), each connected at one end by a short metal chain or a rope. The person who practices this weapon is referred to in Japanese as nunchakuka. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunchaku Up until 2019, four states had laws banning personal nunchuck usage, including Arizona, California, New York, and Massachusetts. However, the bans in Arizona and New York were overturned, and now only California and Massachusetts have laws limiting their use.
