quiva

“The quiva itself, in its sharpness and weight, does the work.”

“From the fellow's back there protruded the handle of a knife, the hilt of a particular sort to knife, that of a saddle knife, that of the sort common in the lands of the Wagon Peoples, that commonly known as a -quiva.”

“Of what value, really, is it to be able to bring down a running man with the great bow at two hundred yards, to throw the quiva into a two-hort circle at twenty paces, to wield a sword with an agility others might bring to the handling of a knife?”

Magicians of Gor

“I put the quiva in my left hand, extending my left arm.”

Mercenaries Of Gor

“With the sword and quiva, protecting myself first with one and then the other, and probing about, using them alternately, and generally keeping away from the source of the sound, I determined to my satisfaction that the alcove was empty save (pg. 387) for myself and the source of the sound.”

Mercenaries Of Gor

“The quiva presumably could act as a probe and defense.”

Mercenaries Of Gor

“I then took my quiva and addressed myself to the rather mannish leather I had removed from the captive.”

Mercenaries Of Gor

“Reaching forth I took it by its hair that I might locate it and hold it in place and moved the point of the quiva, the blade held sideways, that it might slip between the ribs, a tiny bit into its side, about half the width of a drop of blood.”

Mercenaries Of Gor

“ I surrendered my sword to him, and the knife, too, I commonly carried, a quiva, a Tuchuk saddle knife, balanced for throwing.”
