Well, if you look at the picture above, you will notice the obvious curved hooks on the end of each sword this part of the sword it used for capturing the opponents weapon, as well as grabbing the opponent. The blade itself works just like any other sword and is used for medium range fighting. The hand guard is bladed as well as the extension off the handle. This part can be used for very close quarter fighting. The last feature, my favorite, is it's long range capability. You hook one sword to the other by the hooks, and you can swing it around while holding one sword by the handle. The hand guard of the blade you are swinging around becomes the weapon.

This weapon is very versatile, and very dangerous.
