Sawfish sword

That’s exactly what I was talking about: a tribal fighter with a weapon made from the only material available to him. This is a perfectly genuine and legitimate example well deserving careful consideration.

P.S. Unfortunately I could not find even an electronic form of a full English version of the paper by Mr. Miloserdov published in Armi Antiche. Perhaps the author could post here a scan of it for our information and subsequent discussion. In the absense of such we are limited to the preliminary Russian version published on an informal Russian forum in 2014 as well as the title and the abstract ( both in English) published in the Italian journal in 2016.
