Fakl

Fakl is a traditional Turkish weapon, consisting of a long, thin piece of wood or metal, typically around 1.5 to 2 meters in length, with a sharp point at one end and a handle at the other. The term "fakl" is derived from the Arabic word "faqar," meaning "spear." It is often used in Turkish folk games and rituals, such as the traditional Turkish wrestling sport known as "güreş." The fakl is also featured in various Turkish cultural events, including festivals and celebrations, where it is used in parades and demonstrations. Historically, the fakl has been used as a defensive weapon, and its design reflects its practical use in combat. Today, the fakl remains an important symbol of Turkish heritage and is often seen in museums and cultural exhibitions.
