Uhhh. . . .depends on how broadly you define "farm equipment."

 

Nunchaku

 

Tonfa

 

Kama

 

Bullwhip (western styles.)

 

Rope

 

Chain

 

ANFO Bomb. The type McVeigh used in OKC was based on fertilizer (Ammonium Nitrate) mixed with fuel oil. Probably not the kind of weapon you had in mind, but . . . .

I think weapons that were used in farms a long time ago, but are now considered martial art weapons.

 

I always thought sais were used for cooking meat a long time ago, is this true?

No, the zai were not used to cook meat. The zai is probably the only weapon used in Okinawan Kobudo that wasn't really a farming weapon.

 

Reason because metal was extremely expensive, and wasn't found in Okinawa.

 

It is more likely that it was a variation on another weapon, or a police symbol.

 

It is thought that the zai design is based around buddhist symbols.

 

Remember they are all just theories.

I hadn't thought about metal being so scarce in Okinawa. Of course everyone has heard of the low quality of Japanese iron and steel which forced the Japanese smiths to develop such extreme layering and heat treat techniques to compensate.

 

I'd go insane on an island with no steel. :eek: No smithing, no peace!

The Orr is sot of a farm tool if your a fish farmer. (more or less a type of shovel)

 

As would be the net.

 

Spear could be version of a pitchfork also for fishing

 

Wheat Sicle which is a big kama.
