The [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_:Sai (weapon) |sai]] was originally an agricultural tool, but then became an [[Improvised Weapon]] [[Stock Ninja Weaponry|often associated with]] [[Ninja]].
 
In real life, sai are very rarely actually bladed weapons, and are primarily used in defense in order to disarm and/or break blades. In fiction, however, the middle prong (or both) is usually sharpened into a makeshift dagger. (''Sometimes'' [[Truth in Television]], but not normal practice.) Unusually, [[Dual -Wielding]] a pair of sais ''is'' [[Truth in Television]].
 
[[The Other Wiki]] has more details on the historical use of the sai [[httpwikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_<!-- 28weapon29Sai chr(28)weaponchr(29)|here]]. -->

== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[The Mummy Returns (Film)Trilogy|The Mummy Returns]]'': a [[Flash Back]] has a duel between two women [[Dual -Wielding]] these, which doesn't make sense as sais originated from Asia, not Egypt. And more specifically, sai were a rice-agricultural implement, and the Nile has always been primarily wheat territory.
* ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'': Neo used his powers to pull two sais off the wall and fight with them during his battle with the Merovingian's minions. He ends up using them to pin one of his assailants to the wall.
 
Line 34:
* Mileena from the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' series fights using a pair of sai.

* ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds (Video Game)|Adventure Quest Worlds]]'' also uses them as daggers, the one kind of weapon that can be dual-wielded. They're quite popular with Ninjas.
