The haladie is a double-edged dagger from ancient India,^[1] consisting of two curved blades,^[1] each approximately 8.5 inches (22 cm) in length,^[1] attached to a single hilt.^[2]

The weapon was used by warriors of the Indian Rajput clans, and was both a stabbing and slicing blade. Some haladie had spikes on one side of the handle in the style of a knuckle duster, while others had a third blade in this position.^{[citation needed]} In some cases the main blades would be serrated.^[3]

Eventually, the haladie began to be used outside of India, most notably in Syria.

The haladie is believed to be one of the world's first triple-edged blades.^{[citation needed]}
