Long Description

This dangerous-looking weapon comprises two four feet long, flexible lengths of razor-sharp steel attached to a simple hilt. The flexibility of the blade is such that it would be capable of launching whip-like slashing attacks, although the twin blades would make its movement on the backswing extremely unpredictable. It appears to be sufficiently flexible to wear as a belt when not in use.

Appraises As

The twin-bladed steel urumi is about three and a half feet long and roughly a couple of inches wide. It is made of watered steel and could be used as a weapon of type misc.

Note

Unlike the seven-bladed version, this one can be worn as a belt.

You slip a twin-bladed steel urumi around your waist as a belt.

Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore.  to avoid self inflicted damage, that goes through shields, with every strike.
