[Lorien]

my folks visited India and very kindly took a bunch of pictures for me.
I just wanted to share them with you;

other photos of this very interesting culture of cutlery can be found here; http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd388/Bladeworks2011/India Blades/?start=all

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Looked through all the rest as well.

Need to tell you mom and pops (which ever took the pics) that with the sword shots, we need to see the whole piece at once. Close up of the hilts are great, but we need to see the sharp pointy ends!
