Battle club 
Edit
Added by RenatablsSokka's club is a blunt instrument which he used to strike people. He seemingly obtained this weapon while in the Southern Water Tribe. Using his club, Sokka defended his village during a Fire Nation raid. The Rough Rhinos saw this club when they stole the belongings that the gang had left behind.[1] Sokka managed to retrieve it, as he used it several times later. Sokka eventually lost it again to the sandbenders.[2] His bone club served as a replacement.
This club was carved from a polar bear femur. The battle club has a notch for hooking opponent's weapons, a heavy solid ball on the end, and a leather strap wrapped for grip.[3]
Boomerang Edit
Added by Random RanaunSokka's boomerang was given to him by his father Hakoda before he left to fight in the Hundred Year War with the warriors of the Southern Water Tribe. It was one of Sokka's most prized possessions and his trademark item.[4] Sokka once lost his boomerang and stated that it was like "losing a part of [his] identity". He ended up recovering it, exclaiming, "Boomerang! You do always come back!" after Yeh-Lu, the warrior that had found his boomerang, was defeated.[1]
Sokka used his boomerang to defeat Combustion Man when no other member of the group could get within range of him. The group was hiding behind a pylon, when Sokka threw his boomerang, which hit Combustion Man on his third-eye tattoo. This blow stunned the assassin and blocked his flow of chi to his third eye. When Combustion Man tried to firebend again, he blew himself up due to his blocked chi energy.[5]
While knocking out two firebenders during Sozin's Comet, Sokka lost his boomerang and his sword as a necessary trade-off to save his and Toph's life.[6]
A year later, Sokka had obtained a similar, if not the same boomerang. He used it to incapacitate a demonstrator outside Yu Dao whom he deemed annoying.[7] He also used this same boomerang to demonstrate his authority to the newly-released Princess Azula just before they and Zuko departed to search for Ursa, only to have it zapped clean out of his hand by the Princess.[8]
Forty-two years prior to Avatar Korra's arrival in Republic City, Sokka mentioned his boomerang during Yakone's trial at City Hall, in which he referred to it as his "trusty boomerang", and told the story of how he used it to defeat Combustion Man.[9]
Sword Edit
- Main article: Sokka's sword
Added by ThailogWhen training with Piandao, Sokka crafted his own sword using ore from a meteorite. The material used gave the sword a distinctive black color.[10] The sword is able to cut through strong metals with little effort.
Sokka's sword was a Jian (劍), a Chinese straight sword. It was part of his standard armament, along with his boomerang and club.
The bottom of the hilt is engraved with the symbol of the Order of the White Lotus.
Sokka lost his sword, along with his boomerang, while saving his and Toph's life during Sozin's Comet.[6]
Machete Edit
Added by Random RanaunSokka did not use his machete as often as his sword or his boomerang. He often used it for menial tasks, such as shaving and picking his teeth, but he did use it for hacking at foliage,[11] and when he spotted a cactus and sliced part of it open to reveal a water-type drink inside. He also used it to prevent Mai's darts from hitting Katara[12] and to cut a metal cap off a pipe within the Fire Nation drill; this latter action prompted an engineer to come fix the pipe, allowing Katara to ambush him.[13] Additionally, he used his machete in a failed attempt to hunt a saber-tooth moose lion cub.[14] It was noticeably absent after the fall of Ba Sing Se.
Bone club Edit
Added by RenatablsSokka had a club that, like his spear, was made of a whale jaw. He acquired it as a replacement for his previous club,[15] which was lost to the sandbenders who stole Appa.[16] Sokka once used it to snuff out an ember fire.[10]
Spear Edit
Sokka very rarely used his spear or pike. He used his "traditional whale's tooth saber"[17] to spear fish.[18] He used a spear to defend his tribe from the Fire Nation, but it was snapped in half by Zuko.[19]
Jaw blade Edit
Added by Random RanaunSokka had a jawbone dagger that he normally carried in a small pouch on the back of his belt. It had a leather-wrapped hilt with four teeth along it. The dagger's main purpose appeared to be as a sawing tool. This weapon was made by sharpening the jawbone and teeth of a large arctic wolf.[3] It was able to amplify vibrations in the environment, allowing Sokka to accurately detect intruders.[20]
Trivia Edit
- Sokka's weapon in the film adaptation is both a club and a boomerang.
