Suruchin
Suruchin
Though shaped like a kusarigama (chain and sickle), a suruchin can bew carried even in the pocket, because it consists of a chain about 180-210 centimeters in length with a small fundo (metal weight) at both ends, each weighing a little less than 1 kilogram. It is a very handy weapon. The suruchin is waved about so that the fundo can strike the target.
