Kifeé
This article is a Work in Progress and will be finished soon™
This dangerous art is used as a demonstration of skill, as a dance and sometimes as a martial art or even a way to solve disputes between individuals. The Kifeé themselves are also worn as a way to show a person's identity as part of the Galliform people, as a means to defend themselves and others and can be used for preparing and eating food and some day-to-day tasks surrounding livestock and their nomadic lifestyle, but should not be used for rough tasks that may damage the blades.
Kifeé as souvenirs
One of the means of livelihood of the Roosters is selling skirts, dolls, little caravan wagon replicas and other traditional items. Of course, the elegant kifeé are one of the most sought-after items by curious outsiders, though the ritual condition of the daggers understandably make the clansfolk reticent to sell the real daggers to strangers.For these reason some will create replica kifeé that would serve as stand-in for the real deal but would never be considered as true daggers by the Rooster people. They achieve this though dulled blades of inferior metal, a slightly wrong shape, unbalanced weight or wildly incorrect, location-based decorations on the sides.
