Egyptian / Osirioni Two-Bladed Sword???

[flash_cxxi]

I was watching The Mummy Returns the other night and in it they were using a large (what I can only describe as a) Two-Bladed Sword. However both ends had what appeared to be Pendulum Blades on them instead of straight (or curved) blades.
I have done a quick google search, but other than a picture, I can't find any other information on this weapon. I am interested in using it as a weapon for an Osirioni Fighter, and wanted to know what it was called and whether it deserved it's own stats, or should I just use the generic stats for a Two-Bladed Sword?

I can't remember what those blades from the movie looked like exactly. I thought one of the blades on their weapons were similar to khopeshes....

Exaggerated versions of the Shaolin Spade maybe?

This is the picture I've been able to find, but it's from a Halloween Shop. Go Figure!

EDIT: Ah Ha!
Here is a picture from the movie. It is the weapon that Imhotep is wielding (best shot is the centre picture).

I think that the double axe would be better to represent this...

Yes, that would also make a lot of sense.

hmmmmm... which to go for Sword or Axe?

Axe I reckon. x3 crits are fun.

Hey and look at that...

I just looked up the differences of the two and Orc Double Axe is 40gp cheaper, so it has my vote. ;)
Even though it has a x3 Crit, it only Crits on a 20 though... I suppose I could try to maximise for Crits with Feats (it will be a Fighter, so I'll have a couple to spare).

- Buy a whetstone (1 gp max investment).

- Keep using it and telling everyone that you do so all the time.
- Convince the DM that the axe is keen. So keen that it's keen. (You know what I mean :D)

I'll do a little resurrecting here, having recently seen The Mummy Returns. I kept thinking, "Are those vegepygmies?"

LOL. Or Pygmy Ketch like in River into Darkness.

So I'm still thinnking Moth's suggestion of Double Axe is the better one anyway.
I'm looking forward to building this character when I need him.

But a double Khopesh is so much more "Osirion"

Nah, I think they're the undead pygmies from Diablo 2.

If you look in some Asian Martial Arts it was a double-bladed staff. Sometimes the edge was convex like the Mummy, sometimes concave like a crescent moon with the points able to stab.

Double-Moon Staff

Or

Double-Khopesh

They introduced a number of non-Egyptian, Asian martials arts weapons in the movie...

I've no knowledge of Diablo, other than the soundtrack. I did find some suggestions online that they were mummified monkeys, others that they were simply mummified pygmies. Monster movies should have official published bestiaries...
