Three-bladed clubs, as the name suggests, consist of a wooden haft into which three trade knife blades have been inserted and fastened. The end of the wooden haft is shaped to reveal a bird effigy which is further articulated with brass tacks to denote eyes.

This form of club was used throughout the Plains, but photographic evidence suggests that this weapon - especially with the avian-inspired form on the top - was particularly popular among the Sioux.
