Double Dagger

[arnisandyz]

My cousin who grew up in the PI mentioned to me that he knew somebody who was very good with the double ended dagger (not double daggers) which has a blade protruding from both sides of the handle. Allows for both saksak and pakal techniques. Has anybody played with a knife like this? Also, has anyone trained techniques using a pakal grip or half an half grip on the stick?

Just wondering

Yes, I got a knife like this.
I also use short stick this way sometimes.

I've seen Sifu Inosanto do quite a few techniques with double ended daggers.

Yup. In fact, you can order a trainer at http://trainingblades.com

You can also train it with two knives held in one hand.

I also play with pakal and half & half on sticks.

Intersting, must be hard to carry a live blade though. I think its good practice different grips, you never know how your going to grab something.

I wouldn't even try to carry the live blade version. It's a fun training tool, though.
