double-handed
Using both hands
Double-handed describes something requiring or using both hands: a double-handed sword, a double-handed backhand in tennis.
In sailing, double-handed means crewed by two people: They completed the double-handed transatlantic crossing in eighteen days.
The word can also mean two-faced or deceitful, though this sense is uncommon.
