Historical Inspiration – The Zulu Knobkierrie
The Knobkierrie – also known as Kerrie – was more than just a stick. It was a symbol of power, a tool, and a weapon all in one. As early as the 19th century, Zulu warriors used this stick both as a walking aid and a striking weapon, notably in the legendary Battle of Isandlwana against the British. Its distinctive design with the heavy knob allowed for powerful strikes, making the Knobkierrie a feared and respected tool.
