Sunmoon Blades

The Sunmoon Blades are weapons used by the Red Dragon Hsu Hao in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.

An exotic weapon of the Chinese martial arts, the Sunmoon Blades originated in Mongolia, Hsu Hao's birthplace. As a pair, as they are usually used, these bladed weapons can be extremely efficient when used in combat. When one hand blocks an incoming attack, it can catch the weapon and keep it from attacking, or be used to disarm the opponent completely. However, the true sleeping beauty comes into play when one notices that the other hand is left free to attack. This is when the versatility of the Sunmoon Blades really shines, just ask Hsu Hao himself. With the ability to thrust, stab, slash, or rake an opponent, the blades' deadly qualities are easy to see, aren't they?
