    That ain’t no daggers. Those are gladii.

    Edit: nvm those are katars. Indian first knifes/daggers.

      Ah!

      Hey, either of those are I think more accurate than my idea of ‘roughly two highly stylized bastard swords’

      But uh yeah, those are way too big to be ‘daggers’ lol, and they’re literally part of the arm, so you can’t do different grips or wrist motions … closer to dual wielding two ‘short’ swords of some kind…

      But damn, I’d never even heard of a katar before!

      The reminds me of the Halo energy sword, with the uh, grip? hilt? orientation, more like a fistpack or brass knuckles than … basically all swords.
