- Note
- "A shotel (Amharic/Tigrinya ሽቶል or also spelled as ሽተል) is a curved sword originating in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The curve on the blade varies from the Persian shamshir, adopting an almost semicircular shape. The blade is flat and double-edged with a diamond cross-section. The blade is about 40 inches (1,000 mm) in total length and the hilt is a simple wooden piece with no guard. The shotel was carried in a close fitting leather scabbard." - (en.wikipedia.org 17.01.2022)
