The crossguard lightsaber, also known as the forked lightsaber, was a type of lightsaber seen very rarely. So far, the only Jedi known to use such a weapon was Roblio Darté, whose lightsaber had two blue blades.
The crossguard lightsaber was essentially a regular lightsaber with a second blade emitter protruding near the first one at a 45 degree angle to the axis of the hilt. The blade the second emmitter emits is dagger sized. Roblio Darté's hilt was also built with a slight curve, though whether this was a standard feature in cross-guard sabers, or simply personal preference remains unknown.
