Sokka found a whale tooth scimitar in an Earth Kingdom forest.
The whale's tooth scimitar is a Water Tribe weapon made by attaching the tooth of a whale to the end of a long, wooden stick. Although it may appear primitive, the scimitar can actually be deadly, with its small, mobile size making it perfect for close-range combat.[1] The whale's tooth scimitar was used by warriors from both the Southern and Northern Water Tribes during the Hundred Year War.[2]
History[]
During Team Avatar's journey through the Earth Kingdom, Aang found a blackened top of a whale's tooth scimitar while in the vicinity of an abbey which Sokka quickly identified as a Water Tribe weapon.[3] Hakoda and the Water Tribe forces later used such weapons during the invasion of the Fire Nation; Hakoda showed himself to be proficient with them, defeating waves of Fire Nation soldiers.[4]
