Hudiedao

Not an expert, but since the hudiedao are typically used in pairs, I think they keep the name.

That's a neat set you have there! What's also good is that they're properly built, in that the tip is in line with the grip so that you can stab effectively with them. More often, especially with modern examples, the tip is offline, making stabs ineffective.

Thanks Fearn,

Great observation with visual lines drawn to the hilt for stabbing purposes.

I do ask about the correct naming as I have seen these used as single weapons and built as single weapons, often used with a shield, this is why I ask about the double reference.
