I honestly don't know what to say. On one side Israel is in the list, even through god knows what one means by "israeli swords" - a few negev beduin or palestinian sabres topped with israeli army knives I guess. Persia is united with India, but segregated from the middle east. The great steppe and caucasus are both omitted alltogether, but russia (again by far not a great source of sword making) appears there. Or do we count the steppe as mongolia and put it into china. I have a distinct feeling that we it is all a conspiracy of keris-lovers. Oh, those dha-hugging kerisologists .

That's it, exactly. We are in a dignified, high-quality tie for fourth place.
