Could anyone name this weapon?

You are right in that, as I already found the fighting in that scene quite sloppy, almost as if the weapons were near impossible to combine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1BgX-kDbTc).
However, I've seen some nice going with double-swords already, and if you treat them as 1, being you work mostly symmetrical, it's all about finding the balance and coordinating the two at the exact speed, to stay balanced.
Also, wielding one as a sword and the other one as dagger solves the "being in eachothers way" quite well, I assume. I'm not sure about that though.

Ha! For someone who STILL has no martial arts training, you have a lot of "expertise".
 
I found this weapon in a movie called "The Scorpion King 3" and was wondering if it existed, if so I would like to get a pair for my own to fit in my collection.

You do know that the girl doesn't come with the swords, don't you?

Ah, well. Check SwordsDirect and see if they have what you want....
 
Yet, I have all the information I needed, thank you all!
Admin, you can close the threat if you like to, it's ok for me if you do (:
 
Just for future reference, you'll want to generally avoid anything that shows up in a movie. This is about how true to life they tend to be. :D

There really is nothing wrong with saying that you want to own a pair of those swords simply because you think they are cool and you want to have fun chopping stuff in your back yard. I don't think that many here would judge or criticize you for such things because many do the same. I'm sure there are many here who own big knives that they don't really need but just like owning and occasionally chop stuff with them just for fun.

But if you truly want them for martial arts, so be it. Good luck in your search.

Bingo. If they're just for fun they're just for fun. :)
