Had this sword awhile now and havnt managed to find any of the same form or proportions. What is it? Is it just a tulwar with unusual bladed? Also id like to know if it is wootz and if not what is it. ive tried to photograph the patern best i can but its hard to catch the rite light. The patern is the entire length of the blade and does look like a wootz piece i have but not exactly the same. the blade is 4 inches across at the widest point, Blade length 63 inches, 77 inches overall. Theres also some text on the disc pommel but its faded and translating it i imagine would be very hard but would be intrested to know if anyone can from what remains.

Hi YBR,
Your sword is referred to as a khanda (googling the term or searching the forum will provide you with lots of examples of similar swords). The blade does appear to be wootz... Also, I think you mean to state the measurements in cm, not inches, correct? A 5-foot blade with a 14-inch hilt would be a sword of gigantic proportions... ![]() |
