From the two-bladed sword in D&D or other RPGs to Darth Maul’s dual lightsaber, double bladed weapons are fairly popular in fantasy & sci-fi movies, video games, etc. They sure look cool to many people.
Too bad they kinda suck. At least the way most of them are designed, with a relatively short handle and long blades. A double ended spear or polearm on the other hand... now we’re talking!
