👉 A separated weapon, also known as a dual-bladed or bifurcated weapon, is a type of tool or weapon that features two distinct, often symmetrical, parts designed to function as separate entities. These weapons typically include a main blade or point and a secondary weapon, such as a scimitar-like hilt or a smaller, specialized blade, which can be detached and used independently. This design allows for versatility in combat, as the user can switch between the two weapons depending on the situation, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing the risk of injury if one part is compromised. Examples include historical swords like the Japanese katana with its yawara (scabbard) holding a separate, smaller blade or the medieval scimitar, which had a single large blade but could also feature a smaller secondary weapon attached for additional cutting or thrusting capabilities.
