Some stupid prank that people spread around urging little kids to do harm to themselves or others.

hand axe

A prehistoric tool that is the equivalent of an axe head yet was held in the hand. Made of stone, it was chipped around the edges to make it sharp. Most cavemen fossils are accompanied by these.

It wouldn't surprise me if stone age jungle dwellers still use a hand axe.

knout

A Russian whip. Different kinds exist such as a bunch of plaited hide interwoven with metal wire, another kind is a long lash with a ring or hook that's joined by another lash with a hook/ring and ends in a hard leather beak.
100-120 lashes would be lethal.

Peter the Great is claimed to have used the knout on his son Alexis.
