Kaskara

Das Kaskara ist ein Schwert, das hauptsächlich im Sudan und in angrenzenden Gebieten vorkommt. Die Ursprünge des Kaskaras reichen bis in das 8. Jahrhundert, in die Zeit der Islamischen Expansion. Das Kaskara hat die Funktion als Waffe verloren, in seiner Region gehört es jedoch zur gelebten Tradition. Das Kaskara hat eine gerade, zweischneidige Klinge. Bei manchen Kaskaras verjüngt sich die Klinge leicht zur Spitze hin, bei anderen verlaufen die Seiten parallel und formen erst am Ende eine Spitze. Die Klingen weisen verschiedene Arten von Hohlkehlen auf; es gibt Varianten mit einer breiten oder mehreren schmalen Hohlkehlen. Die meisten Klingen stammen aus europäischer Produktion, wenige sind einheimischen Ursprungs. Neue Klingen des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden lokal geschmiedet, beispielsweise aus alten Blattfedern von Automobilen. Sie sind hochwertiger als die frühen einheimischen, die im Kampf brachen, aber sie erreichen nicht die Qualität der früher importierten Klingen. Dekorative Symbole werden durch Punzierungen angebracht. Arabische Inschriften, wie Koranverse oder religiöse Treueschwüre, sind geätzt.  – Zum Artikel …
