The haladie is a double-edged dagger from ancient 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]
Eventually, the haladie began to be used outside of India, most notably in Syria.
The haladie is believed to be one of the world's first triple-edged blades.[ citation needed]
