Talwar Sword – Hand-Forged Lightweight Indo-Nepalese Blade with Rosewood Handle

With its sharpened and water-tempered edge, the blade is built to perform while maintaining traditional character. The 6-inch full tang handle, carved from rosewood, offers a firm, natural grip and smooth control. At only 520 grams, this Talwar is highly maneuverable and battle-ready while also suitable for ritual, training, or display.

This model retains the iconic Indo-Muslim styling with curved blade geometry and minimal hilt embellishment — a no-nonsense sword with real historical spirit.

Historical Significance:

The Talwar was one of the most widely used swords across India and Nepal, especially during the Mughal and Rajput eras. Designed for use on foot and horseback, it was prized for its ability to execute powerful draw cuts. Unlike heavier sabres, this lightweight version focuses on speed and precision — ideal for modern applications such as HEMA, martial arts demonstrations, and ceremonial use. The rosewood handle adds both beauty and functional comfort.
