Fantasy swords. Similar to "hook" swords used in Chinese martial arts, but the double crescent guards would make actual use difficult, if not impossible.

If they are held at the base of the long end they are known as Shuang Duan Ji – Double Short Partizans.

If they are held in the central section of the double moons they are impractical.

There are several other weapon types of the double kind such as axes and spears which are this size too.

Being line drawings nothing can be determined...present actual weapons you'll stand a better chance of correct ID.

Nothing remotely like it is any of my reference books from the best to the worst...I would suggest contacting the person who posted the youtube clip.

In my honest opinion I think they are a modern wushu affliction and not based on anything antique.
