I've been thinking, what are the merits of creating weaponry from bone and not metals or composite materials?
Sure, there's the obvious answers, like being invisible to metal detectors and that the raw materials are far easier to scavenge, but what about, say, the fear factor?
I'd think it's put the fear of God into someone if you lunged at them with a sword made from a sharpened thigh bone. Moreso, anyway.
Perhaps the shaft could be wrapped with sinew for comfort... mind you, it'd make a bit of a mess. Best not to wear white.
This is all well and good, mind you, but what about durability? Are there any non-metallic compounds that could be used to strengthen or otherwise reinforce the bone so it wouldn't break when you plunge it through someone's ribcage?
