Threshal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Threshal was a type of two handed Medieval flail, looking rather like a larger version of the more well-known Nunchaku.[1] Considered a peasant's weapon, it was nonetheless capable of defeating many types of armor, as illustrated in contemporary manuscripts.[1]
