Hello...
I am thinking of buying a sword from H.I. I would like to learn some basic moves to compliment my Hatha Yoga workout. Is the talwar stronger and heavier than the katana? Which of the two has a nicer fit and finish? Also, of the two, which is the better blanced, more natural to move thru space? Thank You......Frank
 
1)yes 2)Everest Katana 3)Everest Katana.

...Now Rusty talks about using his Tulwar to stretch out his back through swinging it around. Perhaps he'll be by later and describe both in greater detail.
 
We call it a tarwar in Nepal. It's a tulwar in India. And it's heavier than the katana -- short and stout -- Nepal version of the Asian short sword. Fit and finish are pretty decent on all HI products so not much difference. If you want a workout try the 30 inch Sirupati. I think that's what Rusty actually uses.
