Tonfa



The Tonfa is a weapon adapted from a peasant implement. It is a handle from a millstone, and is about the length of a man's forearm and has a handle on the side. Held by the handle with the wooden shaft running down along the arm it is an effective defensive tool allowing the arm to block incoming attacks. The tonfa is not particularily dangerous, but it's defensive capabilities makes it popular among monks. (3E p. 177)
