Chakram

Chakram: An East Indian throwing weapon that is a flat steel ring with a razor sharp outer edge. Used mainly by the Sikhs of north west India, they were worn around a tall, conical turban. To throw it, the user either whirled it around the forefinger, or held it between thumb and forefinger and threw it underarm. This is the favorite weapon of Xena, from the TV show of the same name.
