I guess you mean the Algonquian-speaking Blackfoot confederacy of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northern Montana, not the Blackfoot Sioux, who are unrelated.
The Blackfoot tribes originally used the same weapons as all other Plains groups: bows and arrows, clubs and lances, with round shields of thick buffalo-bull hide. The clubs were generally of hardwood, or had a wooden handle with a stone head attached using a wrapping of rawhide - these are often called pagamagan (an Ojibwe word for a stone-headed war club).
The Blackfoot quickly adopted metal knives, axes and firearms as soon as these became available from traders. A particular favourite was a knife with a very wide, double-edged blade known as a "beaver tail knife", often worn in a decorated sheath hung on the chest with a strap around the neck, like a pendant. These were supplied without any handle, which the Blackfoot made themselves from local timbers.
The Blackfoot had a custom that any warrior wishing to join the Bear Society had to undergo certain ordeals, which included having a beavertail knife thrown straight at him, which he was expected to catch.
