No, they are called Daggers. An s10 board admin makes them, this is the first set, the ones made now look like the ones you posted...

The ones I posted are called Assassins made by Smith RaceCraft out of Dallas, Texas. Anyway seem WAY better on adjustibility and strenght. Not to mention changing the fulcrum of how the bars even work.
