oh, they're heavy alright. i have a few but they are a little grungy (missing teeth and such). but, the bone itself is very dense.

Are they actually sturdy enough to be effective??

Yes, I confirm they are.
Notice that it's one of the rarest bone to survive for thousand of years; it's one of the sturdiest part of an animal's body  Wink

I mean, they may lose a tooth or two with very hard hits, but they'll break off very rarely, especially if used properly (right direction I mean).

Very nice Aztec. Where do you get a buffalo jaw bone anyway?






Yeah, that story about the guy who killed the Philistines with an ass's jawbone never made much sense to me until I actually saw the size of one.

I think it was Samson who killed all those people with a donkey jawbone.

In the first episode of Deadliest Warrior, the Apache guy used a tomahawk made with the jawbone of a horse. The ballistic gel head pretty much exploded with the hit.

Amazing piece Aztec, keep them coming.
