Indo-persian

The arms of India, Persia and Nepal form one of the richest traditions in edged weapons: wootz (crucible steel) kard knives with their distinctive watered patterns, Nepalese khukuri of every size and regiment, and the punch-hilted kattar dagger unique to the Indian subcontinent.

Also featured here are early chillanum daggers, pata gauntlet-sword fittings, and powder horns that accompanied these weapons in daily use — pieces chosen for blade quality, condition and the clarity of their regional forging style.
