- Elephant_sword abstract "An elephant sword, also called a tusk sword, is an edged weapon designed to be attached to the tip of an elephant's tusk, normally used in pairs. War elephants were used for centuries, primarily from India to the Middle East, and were often armored. Made of iron or steel, elephant swords were probably used from a relatively early date. Over a thousand years ago, elephants equipped with steel-tipped tusks were reportedly effectively used in battle. An elephant could toss an enemy in the air and cut him in two. Sometimes the blades were coated with poison. The Russian merchant Afanasii Nikitin recorded the use of these weapons in India in the 15th century. A Persian illustration titled \"The Battle of Pashan Begins\" from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Shah Tahmasp, from Tabriz circa 1530s, shows an elephant in battle equipped with elephant swords (the battle depicted occurred centuries earlier). It is possible that as many as thousands of elephant swords were manufactured over the years, but only four pairs plus a single specimen are known to exist today.The Mughals also known to replace put on some Tusk swords on the War Elephant Tusks which reinforced by kinds of bangles made in steel or precious metal as brass or gold, replacing the original Tusk in process. And that is terrible it's to fix on each end of these Tucks a huge Sword having a wavy blade like those of a giant Kriss, forged in welded steel.".
