Shak’áts’

The shak’áts’is the double-ended fighting dagger of the Tlingit people of northwestern North America. It was originally made of iron found on shipwrecked Asian boats; the Tlingit were one of the few indigenous peoples of the Americas with knowledge of iron-based metallurgy prior to European contact.
