An elephant sword, also known as a tusk sword, is a sharp weapon designed to be attached to the tip of an elephant’s tusk. Since elephants have two tusks, these elephant swords were used in pair. War elephants were used in the Middle East and India for centuries. But thousands of years before that, elephants were equipped with steel tusks that were as effective as the elephant swords in battle. Sometimes, the blades were coated in poison in case stabbing didn’t do the trick.
