Tebute is a rare and unique historical sword from the Gilbert Islands of Micronesia. Crafted from coconut palm wood, its cutting edges are made of shark teeth secured with fiber and cords. The Kiribati used these swords in rituals related to ghosts and spirits, warfare, ceremonies, for representing rank, and in martial arts and dueling. Unfortunately, most of these swords were destroyed by colonial powers.
