The haladie is a double-edged dagger from ancient Syria and India,[1] consisting of two curved blades,[1] each approximately 8.5 inches (22 cm) in length,[1] attached to a single hilt.[2]
The weapon was used by warriors of the Indian Rajput clans, and was both a stabbing and slicing blade. Some haladie had spikes on one side of the handle in the style of a knuckle duster, while others had a third blade in this position.[citation needed] In some cases the main blades would be serrated.[3]
The haladie is believed to be one of the world's first triple-edged blades.[citation needed]
