No worries mate . The thing is with edged Patu , they are Blades , not clubs . Same with the Taiaha , it is a double ended , two handed , LongSword . `Jock` and they were usually carved from whale bone, like a kotiate. i also thought the style of club i was carving was a patu-paraoa, but i'm just a white guy in las vegas. :D i'm sure there are lot's of things i don't know and am always happy to learn from the source. kia ora mate! seriously.
