Kubur,

As I mentioned, several authorities speak of the haladie. Stone has this entry:

Quote:

HALADIE. A Rajput double dagger with two short, curved blades fastened to the opposite ends of a straight handle. (Egerton 390). A similar weapon is still used in Syria (Fig. 342)

It seems that this form may not be of the "parrying shield" class, but used differently as rather a fancy knife.
