- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Worf is consistently depicted preferring to dual-wield a pair of Klingon shortswords instead of the more iconic, two-handed bat'leth (ironic since he helped make it iconic on TNG). He advocates for this style in a debate with a sparring partner, saying that the larger weapon leads many warriors to over-confidence. In an episode near the end of the series, he's engaged in a duel of honor which requires him to use a bat'leth.

- Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: OhBlocker, the team's second five-piece mecha, has two swords that combine into a BFS made of energy that is as long as it needs to be... but is so heavy that it's not wielded so much as formed above the monster and allowed to simply fall, slicing through.
