History and background of Indian swords      

Indian swords are collectors' and ceremonial weapons that have also been used in combat. Stemming from the Indian craft tradition, production varies from region to region - the relatively small, broad-bladed "Khanda" sword is produced in northern India.

The "Talwar" saber is more widely produced, distributed and auctioned. Their blade is quite curved, similar to hussar sabers or French naval sabers. What sets them apart, however, is their carbon composition, which makes for smoother, faster handling. These weapons are sometimes made using Persian techniques, similar to those used for Ottoman swords.
