After years of tough times experienced by farmers, the sai evolved into a handy weapon used to trap and disarm swordsmen.<br /> <br /> The sai consists of a shaft with a sharpened point, a grip, and a pair of upswept wings, or prongs, that are similar to a crossguard. The joint between the shaft and the wings is called the wing base. The area of the shaft below the tip and above the wing base is often called the &quot;strike point&quot; and the bottom of the grip is called the pommel.<br /> __NOTOC__<br /> ==Alternate Names==<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;jitte&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> A jitte is similar in construction to a sai, except there is only one wing that branches off the shaft just above the grip.<br /> <br /> == Game Mechanics ==<br /> Sais are defensive weapons, like the [[main gauche]], and effective against chainmail. They give a +10 bonus to [[DS]] when held in the off-hand.<br /> {{Weapon table start}}<br /> {{Weapon table sai}}<br /> {{Weapon table end}}<br /> <br /> == Related Articles ==<br /> *[[Forging]] - Sais can be forged.

Historically, the sai was a weapon used in law enforcement, more often in the form of a jitte. Sais were usually used in threes, one in each hand and one carried in the belt, in case one of the sais were disarmed or thrown. When used as a thrown weapon, the sai had a lethal range of 20-30 feet. The heavy iron construction of a sai gave it enough weight to punch a hole in armor.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_(weapon)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Weapons]]</div>
