Multi-blade daggers

This is truly an interesting interpretation of 'opening' blade, and of a form that is anything but commonly seen as far as I have known. Naturally they are represented in some references only elementally, and not as a functional or well known type of weapon.

Naturally, the term 'opening' brings to mind the much more well known spring operated anomalies in katars primarily, which open by varying means. I had not thought of multiple blades which remain in congruent position, in a blossomed fashion.
As always, Artzi astutely recognized the dilemma and came to the rescue!! Thank you Artzi.

Semantics truly are amazing, but it was fun to talk about the katars which open into three bladed weapons, and are truly intriguing in thier own right, and as seems agreed, also nonfunctional.

Best regards,
Jim
