Double-bladed sword

Somewhat ungainly because of the extra weight in the blades, the double-bladed sword required more strength and finesse to wield than conventional blades or quarterstaves, but it was remarkably effective in melee combat when used by an expert. The Wookiee warblade, the Sith war sword, and the Zhaboka were types of double-bladed sword. A powered and modernized version of this weapon was called the vibro double-blade, and a version later used in the Rise of the Empire era was called the double vibroblade. The principles of wielding this weapon were similar to the wielding of a double-bladed lightsaber.
