A newly aquired Kirach

here my second kirach sword,
the blade from these kirach was made from an nice laminated steel.
the size is exactly the same like the first one but the blade is more heavy like the other one. kirach swords are not so often to see like khanda ore sossunpatta swords soit is intresting to see such swords from other collectors!
thanks!!

Nice to see some Indian weapons for a change

.
I also have a kirach, which I got not so long ago. They are not seen very often.
The hand guard is a makara's head, with a snake coming out of its mouth.

For some reason or other the last picture could not be downloaded in the last post, but here it is - I hope.
The picture was too big

That is a lovely hilt, Jens !

I would be most interested in learning about combat methods with this sword form .
