A kanbar (pronounced CAN-barr) is a type of bar mace manufactured and used by the Taruhmite dwarves of the Wounds. Typically made of bronze, a kanbar consists of four bars of metal joined into a the shape of a plus sign, usually gradually widening towards the end. Handles are typically bone or whale ivory, upon which is inscribed the symbols of the smith that forged the weapon.
The highest quality kanbars are said to be made in the volcano-forges of Stanux and Korruvat, but the weapon is created for and used by warriors throughout the Grievous Islands.
