I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF SWORDS WITH TWO BLADES AS WELL AS AT LEAST ONE WITH 3 BLADES THAT WAS FREE STANDING. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO PICTURES PROBABLY THE SELLER OR AUCTION BLOCKED PICTURES OR PERHAPS THEY WERE IN BOOKS.

HERE ARE TWO PICTURES OF A YORUBA CEREMONIAL SWORD FOR COMPARASON AND ANOTHER SWORD THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ASANTE BUT IS A BIT DIFFERENT THAN THOSE USED AT CEREMONIES INVOLVING THE KING. PERHAPS SOMEONE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THIS SORT OF SWORD CAN ADD SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THESE INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT ITEMS.
