Sai Knives

Sai are a pair of short swords used defensively against the Bo and Samurai sword. Its design stems from the concept of a pitchfork and was originally developed in Okinawa during the Japanese occupation. Multi-purpose instruments like the Sai became especially useful, since an opponent's weapon could be blocked and/or trapped with one Sai with the other could be used to deliver a thrust to a vulnerable area of the body. Three Sai were often carried, with one placed behind the back in the belt, where it could serve as a replacement for a hand-held sai that was thrown at an opponent.
