What a challenge with a comment "Indestructible Sword" ... it sure looks as if it would meet any test!

Many thanks ... the Bhutan sword has been on my 'to get' list and I am amazed at getting it!

Now we know what goes with those unique archery bows!

And maybe adds to the reason why Bhutan is called the happiest country in the world?

The Bhutan Gross National Happiness concept is very interesting.

Sharking the Bhutan sword has increased my Gross Internal Happiness!

That's a MONSTER-Dozum!!! Really like the lines of this one, reminds me of those ancient Roman Gladius swords. Dozum is the Bhutanese dagger/knife, usually stiletto-type blade, can also come in broader shape, most are pointy-tipped. Check out this fine example:

Then there are Tibetan swords, most are straight bladed with arc-tips, while some are shorter and pointy-tipped, like this nice example:

Anyways, BC, do give us more photos when you get your hands on this one.

LOL! I guess they could puncture or cut it to pieces or just cause it to bleed away?

Many thanks for the info re Dozum and the HI Short Tibetan sword is high on my 'to get' list.

Interestingly, there was a Long Tibetan sword offered in a recent dotd which had the 'arc-tip' which was the first in this style I had seen offered.

That thing has pig sticker written all over it, nice snag!

Thanks but only if I was 30 years younger!
