The Ida is a kind of sword used by the Yoruba people of West Africa. It is a long sword with a semi-wide blade and sheathe. The sword is extremely sharp, and cuts on contact. During wars, pepper and poison are added to it to paralyze anyone who is cut by the sword. The Ida is carried by all Yoruba soldiers. It can be wielded in any way (either one-handed or two-handed).
