Actually in a class by itself, the quiva is the almost legendary, balanced saddle knife of the Wagon Peoples. They are normally kept in sets of seven. The quiva is so important that it is said a youth of the Wagon Peoples was taught the bow, the quiva and the lance before their parents would consent to give him a name It is about a foot in length, double edged, tapers to a daggerlike point and is balanced for throwing. The quiva need not be thrown hard due to its sharpness and weight doing the work. Therefore the quiva is regarded, on the whole, as more of a missile weapon than a hand knife. www.thegoreancave.com/research/weapons/weapons00.html
