Default kirpan

Hi Jeff,

most modern daggers made for kirpan use are totally impractical, fit for a "symbollic" purpose.
There is no generic kirpan as long as it is practical (useable) it can be anything from small to large, i believe it must be single edged though.
Thus, you will find it difficult to find an authentic "kirpan" as it may just be an old dagger like a pesh kabz, it was only required that sikhs (Male + Female) carried atleast a single edged dagger at all times.

regards Baljit
