What's the name of those knives? It's really bugging me?

It's a little vague, but they're these types of small blades, it has one long blade in the center and then two shorter ones on the side, the gap between them is a bit... Rounded. The center blade is wider at the base and then gets more narrow...? Commonly used in pairs I think.

Again, it's not a great description, I'm not good with describing things. If anyone could make anything out of this, I'd appreciate it.

(I couldn't find a suitable category for this so I left it in the one it gave me.)

Update:

It's not a folding knife, the blades are all there.

    Sorry I've had a nightmare. I deleted the answer instead of editing it.

    The sai (釵) is a traditional martial arts weapon. The basic form of the weapon is that of a pointed, prong shaped metal baton, with two curved prongs called yoku projecting from the handle. It is generally used in pairs.[2] There are many types of sai with varying prongs for trapping and blocking.

    There is a short bladed version (centre blade is 4" with the horns 2"), beautiful feel in the hand, but I can't find pics of them.

    I can only think you're describing a pocket-knife or a pen-knife.
