Good day,
I was hoping someone could help me. I am seeking the source of a mundane weapon and my google fu has failed me.
It is a 3.0 or 3.5 D&D weapon in a Forgotten Realms book. Maybe one of the Forgotten Realms adventure books.
It didn't list damages for Med and Small humanoids, so leaning towards 3.0 more then 3.5
It was listed in a side bar on one of the pages, so maybe an adventure book.
It was a slashing weapon, you could use weapon finesse on it.
It did 1d6 damage and had a high crit change, maybe 17-20/x2
It was called something like stone dagger or stone knife or stone blade. A hand grasped weapon, 3 blades like a hand held version of Marvel Wolverine's claws
It was the NOT the claw bracer from the 3.0 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book.
Thanks kindly in Advance ^_^

| There are very few weapons that have a 1d6 17-20/x2, I found only four on SRD type lists. None directly linked to FR: Armitars, Slizzer, Rapier and Scimitar. |

Slizzer? Is that another of those odd WotC creations, like the elven thinblade? |

From: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Slizzer_(3.5e_Equipment)
The slizzer (a morphed form of the word slicer), invented by humans and named by gnomes, is one of the sharpest weapons ever developed. Its uncanny ability of hitting for critical damage was developed after almost a year of studying forging techniques. Also, not only is it sharp, it is also lightweight. Popular among rogues as a substitute for the rapier, it does have one weakness: it can be notoriusly flimsy. |

| Not the drow long blade (or something like that) from Eberron, but that only had one blade? Claw bracers, but I don't recall them having that threat range or damage off the top of my head? |

rapier and scimitar weren't 17-20, they were 18-20. The other two I've never heard of at all. |

A (classic Roman) cestus isn't very exciting to look at, but three-bladed "cestus" variants (of dubious authenticity) like this and this and this can be found online, perhaps they can also be found in the Realms. Gladiators would be equipped with one cestus or two cesti.
Specialty priests of Malar use a special weapon called the "Claws of Malar". Essentially a claw bracer which mimics a beast claw from some sort of ferocious creature like a badger, wolverine, tiger, or owlbear. These might be made from sharpened stone or bone - or even metal, unless (like druids) priests of Malar are restricted to using only "natural" materials. Claws of Malar are used in both hands.
Specialty priests of Tempus use a "Spiked Gauntlet". Being as manly and battle-crazed as they are, they are likely to use a mighty reinforced metal gauntlet covered in sharpened metal spikes and blades. A berserk battlepriest wielding a Wolverine-triple-blade could do a lot of damage. The Spiked Gauntlet is a symbol of blessing/rank/authority/station, only one is worn.
Kreen use a melee/throwing weapon called a "chatkcha". Basically the same thing as the frisbee-like "chakram" used by Xena Warrior Princess, except that it's three-bladed and typically made of stone or obsidian. Thri-kreen (from the Realms) and Thor-kreen (from Athas) usually carry a small number of chatkchas, and they rarely throw their last two if pressed into melee.
I recall "jungle dwarves" using a three-winged boomerang-styled weapon, made of some special wood and edged with (venom-coated) metal blades. But I can't recall which FR supplement described this. It's admittedly not very Wolverine-like.
Claw weapons were used in India and Southeast Asia - along with a variety of special martial arts, combat styles, and tactics based around them. Usually called "katars" or "qatars", and usually one somewhat largish (shortsword-sized) "push-dagger" or "punch-dagger" blade protruding from the back of the wrist, strapped to the forearm or gripped by a bar/handle in the palm. Two-bladed and three-bladed versions (usually called "scissor katars") also existed. Popularized by the Assassin character in Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. Using katars in both hands required special training. |

As I posted. As found on SRD type lists. On the net there is much, the referring site is: http://nwn2db.com/library/weapons/?compare A Never Winter Night 2 site. |

Those are still 18-20. I don't think I've ever seen a 17-20 threat range on a weapon without feats or some other type of magical involvement. |

No, that was uncommon if not unheard of in 3e. Considering the OP said a high crit range and wasn't sure of the exact detail, I'd call it a number mixed up over time. |
