A pair of Emei Piercers or Emeici in a
soft case for carrying.
Emeici (峨嵋刺; variously
translated as "Emei
Daggers",
"Emei Piercers") are a traditional Chinese martial arts
weapon. They are a pair of metal rods with sharp ends used
for
stabbing; they typically have mounted on
them a ring through which a finger is inserted, allowing them to
spin and be elaborately manipulated.
These weapons originated at Mount Emei (hence the name). They are a
piece of equipment used in Wu-Shu to this day.
These weapons are used for 'open palm' techniques, and are similar
to 'judges pens'.
The general idea of this weapon is to confuse attacker by spinning
the blades thereby distracting in order to get close enough to stab
also can be concealed easily for surprise attacks.
