Well, the sword tradition is alive in the gulf still. Swords are still made in KSA, Qatar and Bahrain. They are used in many occasions and are still part of costumes. To me, those swords are no different than the old ones. Infact, most are actually old blades rehilted with new material.

Thats good. Do not get me wrong. If I still had an interest in edged weapons I would be happy to buy real hunting and jungle knives and the like, from many places in the world. Where the real thing {so to speak, and you should all know what I mean} is still made for use. In this term use goes diplomatic gifts and other significant presentation pieces. Places like Nagaland regions Assam still make good work pieces. There is a difference from my earlier post.
