The sai was incorrectly believed to be an Okinawan tool to measure stalks, or some even say as a pin to hold cart wheels in place, but is better and more correctly known as a weapon. Its basic form is that of an unsharpened dagger, but it also has two long, unsharpened projections (tsuba) attached to the handle.The sai's distinctive shape makes it a versatile weapon. With skill, it can be used effectively against a long sword by trapping the sword's blade between the sai's blade and the tsuba and breaking it with a twist of the hand. Also, it can be held so that the middle arm fits between the ring and middle fingers, and used as a longer variant of brass knuckles (this stance is only accepted in American styles).
Sai come in two traditional styles, one is just rounded arms, still no point at the tip; or what are called octagon sai, which have an octagonal shape on the middle arm.Traditionally, sai were carried in threes, two at the side, as primary weapons, and a third tucked behind, in case one was disarmed. An alternative use of the third sai is as a throwing weapon to disarm or distract an opponent before engaging in close combat. The sai was the only okinawan tool designed to be a weapon only, the rest were formed from farm tools.
