With their broad and double-edged battle-axes on their shoulders, they attended the Greek emperor to the temple, the senate, and the hippodrome; he slept and feasted under their trusty guard; and the keys of the palace, the treasury, and the capital, were held by the firm and faithful hands of the Varangians.
As they were leaving Mary noticed on a table near the door two splendid swords, one very large and heavy and one with a double-edged blade of much smaller size. "Oh, are these the swords of a samurai warrior?" she demanded, with excited interest. "Yes," answered Mme. Fontaine. "They belonged to my great grandfather."
But the fact that the exterior cut was cleanly done, while the internal injuries were jagged and the tissues torn in a most terrible manner, caused a doubt to arise whether the Indian knife, which was double-edged, had actually been used.
It was a thrust with a double-edged sword. He was what we now call, an exquisite, in person, and one to whom the idea of chewing tobacco was abhorrent, whilst he was actually and distressingly troubled with the infirmity hinted at.

In the top right-hand corner is a cloud from which issues a hand pointing towards the figure just described. Behind, to the left, stand three figures. The foremost has just thrust the point of a large double-edged sword, with a plain cross hilt, through the neck of the bishop from back to front. The upper compartment represents the entombment of the bishop.
Gokhale's views that we were not to expect a full satisfaction regarding the status of our countrymen across the seas until we had put our own house in order. Helots in our own country, how could we do better outside? Mr. Petit wants systematic and severe retaliation. In my opinion, retaliation is a double-edged weapon.
On their return, Kaspar said, 'Went Court Garden Man had a knife gave a bag struck I ran as I could bag must lie there. Kaspar was found to have a narrow wound, 'two inches and a half under the centre of the left breast, clearly caused by a very sharp double-edged weapon. In three or four days he died, the heart had been injured.
