The legend of Yu'Yetl and the Skyserpent teaches that victory belongs to the warrior who not only strikes out, but can also grab hold and pull his enemy off balance. In the spirit of victory, this macuahuitl (macana) has been engineered to stike out with one edge, and grapple foes with the other.

The image of the mighty Skyserpent of legend is integrated into the weapon. Along with his great flowing whiskers which are said to momentarily split the sky in a luminous flash while battling rainstorms to return the sunlight.
