Khanda E-mail
khanda.jpgKhanda is the oldest and most typical of Indlan swords. lt has a broad, straight blade, ually widening towards the point, which is generally quite blunt. Sometimes it is double-edged; but, it generally has a strengthening plate with ornamental borders on the back for a considerable part of its length.

 

The hilt has a broad plate guard and wide finger guard which joins the large, flat pommel. There is a spike on the pommel which acts as a guard for the arm, and for a grip for the left hand when making a two-handed stroke. It is also used as a hand rest when the sword is sheathed. The inside of the guard and finger guard are padded.
