What is this weapon?

Hello. Been a while since I posted.

If there are any Mad Max fans here, I have a question: does anyone have any idea what the bodyguard twirling in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" at 3:09 in this video? (always loved this song, by the way). It looks like knives on the ends of lanyards, or something (?).

It looks similar in use to the small kamas on chains which the Merovingian's henchman is using in this scene from "Matrix Reloaded" at 1:11.

Hoping somebody here knows as there is no shortage of folk here with all kinds of knowledge of obscure weaponry. Thanks in advance.
