Master Kirpan - Tribute to Darbar Sahib
Some have referred to this Kirpan as one that might be called the finest ever created. My experience with historic weapons, including Kirpans, is that fabrication standards held in the past are not near as high as those held by my contemporary knife and swordmaking colleagues as well as myself.
About a month ago, I received a new Kirpan from Jot Singh Khalsa (KhalsaKirpans.com) and this particular one has made me think about the purpose of the Kirpan as more than a symbol but also as a practical tool.
