Dual Wielding characters use a weapon in each hand, which is cool. Do you know what's even cooler? Using a single weapon with two ends. It could be a stick with sword-blades on both ends, or maybe a double-bladednote Not to be confused with "double-edged", which is one blade with both edges being sharp — and may or may not overlap with "double-bladed" (two separate blades on the same weapon). sword with both blades coming out of the same end of the hilt (in the former case, the weapon is usually wielded like a bladed staff.) If a Double Weapon is light enough (or the wielder is strong enough), then it can be dual wielded for a total of four blades. Fighting using a Double Weapon often involves a lot of spinning attacks.
In terms of Real Life effectiveness, these weapons could actually be quite effective in combat due to their inherent speed and versatility provided someone had the skill to use one. CARRYING a double bladed sword on the other hand would be a far more difficult affair (how do you sheathe it?), but few are the writers who let such details bother them. If you're really worried about it though, just invest in a Laser Blade.
Not to be confused with Dual Wielding. If the Double Weapon can be split into two single-bladed weapons, it is also a Bifurcated Weapon. If it's a fusion of two quite different weapons, it's a Mix-and-Match Weapon. Tends to be impossibly cool.

In the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow continuity, Gabriel's combat cross (a whip for all intents and purposes) gets a stake added on to the other end to allow him to finish off vampires. In the sequel, Alucard uses it as the pommel of his ever-iconic Alucard sword.

Tales Series:
Yuan from Tales of Symphonia has an especially impractical double-ended greatsword when you fight him. Although to be entirely fair, he does have Super-Strength due to being one of the Four Seraphim, and if you look closely you'll see that each blade has an additional grip in the middle, making it wield more like a bladed staff than a sword.
Tales of Graces: Hubert's dualblade is two swords, connected at the handle. He can separate them into two one-handed swords, as well as turn it into two pistols.

Fate of Lyrical Nanoha has Bardiche's Riot Zanber form, which is a pair of energy sabers connected by an energy thread. That's right, Fate endorses sword-chucks. They can also be combined to form an even larger version of the weapon's Zanber form.
Don't forget that the Zanber forms have energy blades, so Riot Zanber is basically a pair of lightsaber-chucks
Force introduces Riot Blade II◊, where Fate combines the two energy sabers to form a Darth Maul-like double-ended energy saber.

The Counter Monkey episode "The Age of Manure" has Bennett the Sage visit with some documents from his friend's old Dungeons & Dragons games. One thing he shows off is some weapons the friend designed, which include the double club, the double spiked club, the double knife, and double serrated swordnote As Spoony points out, the double club is entirely superfluous since under 3rd Edition D&D rules, the quarterstaff can be used as a double weapon by default. They actually note that the guy went out of his way to try to make a double-version of almost any weapon, then try to think of the ones he missed (double crossbow, double flintlock...).

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Bonus points to Jedi general Pong Krell for using 2 of them. Justified because he has 4 arms.
The Jedi temple guards also favor this type of weapon, with rather distinctive yellow blades.
Savage Opress takes after his brother with a red double bladed saber.
Ironically, Darth Maul spends the vast majority of the series with only a single blade. It's the same weapon as the one from Episode I, it's just that he doesn't have a good chance to repair it from when Obi-Wan sliced it in two. At one point, he even opts to dual wield. He finally repairs his original blade in the last arc of the series.

Warcraft:
Illidan Stormrage uses two double ended weapons, basically double-bladed scimitars in either hand. In fact this is the weapon set most demon hunters use. They also bind a demon into their body that will try to take control of them. And they're all blind (although they do have a magical sight to compensate). It's mentioned that the fatality rate for demon hunters in training is very high, and no wonder.
Pit Lords also favour double ended weapons. They usually wield two-handed warglaives that resemble shortened spears with a huge blade on each end.
In both of the cases, the double bladed weapon could be considered to be symbolic. Demon hunter's power is very much a double-ended sword: they use demonic magic to become very effective at fighting demons, but must risk being consumed by the powers they sought to use. Pit Lords on the other hand don't care whose blood flows, as long as there is battle and somebody dies, be it them or their enemy.
Troll Shadow Hunters also tend to use double swords because, uhm, Voodoo?
Vol'jin especially makes a great use of one in Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde, parrying with one side of the sword and using the momentum to spin the other side past the enemy's defense
The Frozen Throne expansion also gave us the Blood Elf "Spellbreakers", who carried a tower shield in one hand and a dual-bladed sword in the other. It looked kind of like someone took the blade out of a lawnmower and made it 6 feet long with a handle in the middle, then made it fancy in the elvish tradition. It was wielded the same way. Despite that being the only significant appearance of the unit, the weapons apparently were iconic enough that the tall shield and double-bladed sword would be utilized for the appearance of the generic city guards of the Blood Elves in World of Warcraft.

Dungeons & Dragons introduces a whole class of weapons based on the concept in its third edition Player's Handbook, which gives the trope its name:
The two-bladed sword, which draws direct inspiration from Darth Maul's lightsaber. If Neverwinter Nights is any indication, its combat advantage comes from how an opponent parrying one blade is bound to get slashed by the other. (Though the lack of reach means it would be inferior to Dual Wielding, and in some ways less effective than even a sword and shield, if it weren't for Exotic Weapon Supremacy.)
The orc double axe, which has double-bitted axe-heads on both ends of the handle.
The dire flail, which has flails on both ends and would look very silly if not for the company it keeps, and should be nearly impossible to use without hurting yourself.
The dwarven urgrosh, with an axehead on one end and a spearhead on the other.
The gnome hooked hammer, with a hammerhead on one end and a hook on the other.
The Arms & Equipment Guide introduces the double scimitar, the double mace, and the gyrspike, a weapon with a sword on one end and a flail on the other.
The double-scimitar returned in Eberron as the trademark weapon of the Valenar Elves. Pointing out the impracticality of it will no doubt result in a first-hand demonstration of what the weapon is capable of, with you as the target.
In 4e, their stupidity is justified by saving money on enhancements. There's also the fact that most double weapons have a different type of damage: most single weapons will give, say, 1d8, while a double weapon would give 2d4. While it doesn't increase the maximum, it DOES increase the minimum; add the "brutal X" enchantment which means you reroll any damage die that lands lower than X, on a class that gives multiple-weapon-damage-roll attacks, and you suddenly have a very high minimum damage range.
And last but not least, the humble quarterstaff, which was upgraded to a double weapon, and the double mace, which is basically just a quarterstaff whose ends are weighted a bit heavier.
5e's Polearm Master feat lets you use the butt of a polearm (halberd, spear, etc.) to make another attack once per turn, though it only deals 1d4.

In Dynasty Warriors 5 (And as a result, the Warriors Orochi series), Cao Pi also wields a double-ended sword, which literally looks like two conventional, western broadswords attached end-to-end. During some attacks, he'll also split them up Dual Wielding combos. Sadly, he got downgraded to a boring ol' sword in 6, while his wife switched from an elegant flute to a whip. However, he gains his double sword back in 8.

Lampshaded, mocked, and still used straight in Errant Story. The leader of the local time-ninja-guild wields a double-ended energy-crystal blade to lethal effect, and the party's recently-recruited time-ninja does the same... however, while dueling her, Sarine takes the time to point out just how impractical a weapon it is, combining the worst traits of sword and spear in one crappy package, and revealing that it was originally created as a show-weapon for fake duels and parades only. She also proves the truth in her statement, but despite all this, Sara continues to kick ass with her double-bladed energy-crystal-stick, against basically anyone who isn't an immortal Action Girl. Mind you, Sara uses time magic to move so fast she can dodge bullets. She'd probably do just as well even if she was armed with a cardboard tube.

Yuan from Tales of Symphonia has an especially impractical double-ended greatsword when you fight him. Although to be entirely fair, he does have Super-Strength due to being one of the Four Seraphim, and if you look closely you'll see that each blade has an additional grip in the middle, making it wield more like a bladed staff than a sword.

From the Gundam multiverse:
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Gelgoog, Zeon's answer to the Gundam, uses a twin Laser Blade officially called a beam naginata.
Gundam ZZ: The Dreissen has a beam lancer, which is made by combining its tomahawk and saber weapons, letting it use either as the polearm version (or both blades at once).
Victory Gundam: The Abigor, a one-off Zanscare design, wields a pair of beam scythes that can be combined at the butt end.
Gundam Wing: Altron's twin beam trident; notably, in the TV series Wu Fei tends to wield it like a standard spear (only using one end) while in Endless Waltz he takes advantage of both ends.

Gundam 00: The 00 Gundam can dock its GN Sword IIs into a single long lance; on at least one occasion, Setsuna throws it like a giant discus.
Gundam AGE: The Ghirarga wields two spears that can be combined this way.
This trope is prominent enough in the Gundam franchise that the game Gundam Breaker 2 included Twin Blades as an entire class of usable melee weapons, featuring many of the examples listed above. Their advantages are that they hit multiple times very quickly and can Spin to Deflect Stuff.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Ashera, the leader of Colony 11, uses an appropriately named "Twinsaber" - a double-ended sword. She in an evasion tank character with a strond damage potential, referencing both the deftness, necessary to wield it, and the obvious aggressive nature of such a weapon. The main party can use it through the game's Job System.

In DC's old Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comic, the centaur Timoth Eyesbright uses a double sword for a while until one blade breaks off in a fight; he apparently never gets it replaced afterwards. Notable in that the comic predates D&D's third edition (see below) by about a decade.

Also from the arsenal of the Shaolin Monks are the "twin hook" swords, made famous by Spike's Deadliest Warrior (where they scored more kills for the monk than a Maori warrior's entire arsenal put together'). Aside from the handle, every inch of these weapons is designed to be lethal, and it can even be taken to the logical extreme of the trope: by locking the hooks at the end of two swords together, they become a single weapon capable of delivering death at a bigger distance than most polearms.

Code Geass: Suzaku's Knightmare Frame, the Lancelot double-wields two swords. The mass-production version, the Vincent, not only dual-wields, but the swords combine into a two-way lance.
Not to be outdone, the Ace Custom KMF Tristan piloted by Gino Weinberg uses a foldable end-to-end weapons that look like either a two-way scythe...or anchors...
Or Grendizer's Double Harken.
The Lancelot Club, an original mecha from Visual Novel Lost Colors that acts as the missing link between the Lancelot and Vincent, has the same lance-type swords.

Going even farther back, the Greek Hoplite's spears had a big, foot-long bronze spearhead on one end, and a pointy bottom for dispatching wounded enemies as you walked over them, or incase the spearhead broke off, so you'd still have something to shank people with. Hebrew spears in The Bible seem to have had a similar concept. At least at one time King Saul is recorded as planting his spear in the ground like a tent peg. And Saul's warleader Abner is recorded as slaying a pursuing enemy by turning around quickly and impaling him through the abdomen with the butt end. Possibly these were imports or copies of Philistine manufacture, Philistines being suspected by archeologists to have been cousins of Greeks.

Final Fantasy has a few examples of these, most of which double as Bifurcated Weapons.
Zidane can go from single daggers to double-ended swords (referred to in-game as "thief swords") in Final Fantasy IX. In Dissidia Final Fantasy, this becomes a Bifurcated Weapon, with two Mage Mashers combining into The Ogre and separating again as needed.
In Final Fantasy XII, Judge Magister Gabranth wields a dual-bladed weapon that he can pull apart into its component blades - the larger Chaos Blade, and the smaller Highway Star. Most of the time, though, he joins them at the hilt into a lance-type weapon.
The Odin of Final Fantasy XIII carries the Gagnrad, a pair of curved blades emerging in opposite directions from the same handle; they're almost as tall as he is when combined. Lightning gains access to similar weapons in Lightning Returns, although most of them are smaller; the Final Boss, Bhunivelze, also uses a massive double-bladed scythe-looking thing formed from the gods Pulse and Lindzei.
The Viper job, introduced in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, uses a pair of swords that can be linked together into a double-sword configuration for increased damage.

Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, the movie adaptations of Otowa Hyoko and Yatsume Mumyoi have such weapons: the former has traded the hidden weapon usage for a pair of double-bladed curved scimitars he uses in an extremely unpredictable and frenetic fighting style, sometimes to attack even with his back turned at the enemy. Mumyoi, aside from his Wolverine Claws, has a curious polearm with a large set of claws on one hand and a smaller scythe blade on the other end, though he mostly uses the former.

The two-bladed sword, which draws direct inspiration from Darth Maul's lightsaber. If Neverwinter Nights is any indication, its combat advantage comes from how an opponent parrying one blade is bound to get slashed by the other. (Though the lack of reach means it would be inferior to Dual Wielding, and in some ways less effective than even a sword and shield, if it weren't for Exotic Weapon Supremacy.)

The Dark Eye has the Twinlilies, a staff with fleur-de-lis-shaped blades at each end. It was created as a form of Loophole Abuse: The citizenry of the city of Grangor was prohibited from carrying 'pole weapons with one sharp blade' by imperial edict, so they created a polearm with two. It is acknowledged as a less-than-ideal weapon, but Grangorians still carry it as a point of pride.

Tacos, the second-to-last boss from Golden Force uses a two-sided BFS to rough you up. And it can be thrown as a Precision-Guided Boomerang to home in on you from a distance.

Angela the Herbalist, from the Inheritance Cycle, uses a Hûthvír, a double-bladed weapon sacred to the dwarf of Dûrgrimst Quan, apparently having won it from a priest via gambling and a riddle game.

Digimon Frontier: Beowulfmon's BFS called "Trinität" (which is German for "trinity") is made of the two wing blades of Garumumon. However, rather than having a sword with two ends in opposite directions, it has two large and thick blades parallel to each other that point to one direction.

GURPS: Martial Arts managed to dredge up an obscure example of these. The Qian Kun Ri Yue Dao features a sickle blade at each end and hand guards that have another blade attached to each. A double, double weapon that's almost comically dangerous to the wielder. While the text translates it as "Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon Sword", it actually uses the Staff skill, but since it's such a complex weapon, it comes with a -1 modifier. For one possible way to think of this thing, look at the description, and compare it with the bat'leth mentioned above ...

In Bayonetta 2, the Masked Lumen/Balder uses the Holy Glaive, a golden staff with large blades on either end. He can split the weapon at will, however, if he wants to Dual Wield the blades as separate swords. One of the demons of Inferno called Hatred used a double-ended Sinister Scythe, which Bayonetta can occasionally steal and use herself (until it runs out of power and disintegrates).

In Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, the young Bane's lightsaber instructor teaches him that exotic lighsaber types like the double saber are in most cases inferior to an ordinary single-bladed version...except that your opponent will probably be used to fighting against opponents with an ordinary saber and will be thrown by unusual types. A double-bladed saber doesn't actually give you more options in a fight...but your opponent will think it does, which is just as good.

Scythe-arms in Chronicles of the Kencyrath by PC Hodgell are blade pairs attached to the fore-arm, with the longer blade jutting forward and the other back. They are used in pairs, ie one main blade and one spur on each forearm. Training with them easily dissolves into chaos, with inexperienced users not being able to keep track of the spurs.

Destroy the Godmodder initially featured TwinBuilder's double-edged lightsaber in the first game. Many more Double Weapons were created in the second game as a result of the Alchemiter, with the most famous being Oblivion's Guardian, an upgraded version of Twin's lightsaber wielded by Build.
