Sword

The Khanda sword features a distinctive watered-steel double-edged blade. The hilt is designed with a pullover pommel, a long langet adorned with a beaded border, and a slightly curved plate guard for added protection. The wooden sheath of the sword is wrapped in an encasing of blue velvet for a luxurious finish.
