Swords from Bhutan
Found this article accidentally. It is from Journal of Bhutan Studies, vol. 5, pp.94-112, 2001.

How about putting it in the Classics?
I understand it is not a classy definitive study, but we have so little information about these swords, that every shred of info has high value that may become useful some day. It ain't no 3 course dinner from a 5 Star Michelin establishment, but hungry man might be grateful for a Burger King hamburger even without fries and Coke. |

Cool, the King wears his sword frequently. Note it is worn on the right side.
