After seeing a comment in a yatagan thread about them, I was just wondering if anyone has aquired or learned anything about Lohars?
I have one of the folding types that Justin got into 100% operation the last time he was over, to the point that I now love it more than ever, very close to a "switch blade tomohawk" that opens with a snap of the wrist.
I've seen a couple of older peices purported to be the fixed blade type, but both were very small and light in comparison to the folder.
I was originally told that the folding Lohars were largely tourist (I saw another on Ebay the other day, by the way), but in all honesty, this piece has a true weapon-like feel, to the point that I find it difficult to believe.
When placed with my khyber knife and choora it seems every bit as lethal, and folded up would be easily concealable.
