That has to be one of the most finest and practical choora's I have seen

Choora with wootz blades are hard to find so this is one that is not easily replaceable. A nice addition to your collection indeed.

Lew, very Nice, as always!
 Would choora have been carried in addition to a larger edged blade, for example a khyber knife? To clarify what I'm asking, What sword would have gone with the choora? I like the shape of the choora blade. Best regards, Dan

Good question Dan
Good question Dan, I too have wondered this and also, to my eyes, some of these choora's I have seen over the years look to me in my ignorance to be nothing more than reprofiled Khyber knives, though a good many examples definately are not with their armour piercing tips and strong raised cutting edges. If a Choora was to look like a reprofiled Khyber knife would one be able to tell the difference by say the size of the hilt?
