Sarbloh


Recommended Posts

Never really posted , but stumbled upon this thread. Was wondering what you guys think of these kirpans in modern Damascus. $180 us dollars. these are still proto types. Working on a kydex sheath for them trying to keep a mostly traditional look.. This is still in the early stage.

Yes i know about real wootz.... It is lost and cant be replicated. Generally what modern damascus is a high carbon steel like 1095 with welded with lets say about 15n20 nickel . is one combination. these kirpans dont have vandium... No one knows how wootz is made lost art. No one can agree on what defines Damascus even modern Damascus. That being said modern damascus is nothing to mock either it has lots of benefits and it makes great blades.

Also please enlighten me on what sarbloh is which i mean give me combinations of metals... Because anyone who claims to be the only one selling sarbloh shastars must be lying.... there is no set standard. From all my research i can not find a standard. everyone is just winging it and calling it sarbloh... which i believe is dishonest. To me sarbloh was the most modern steel available during those times and thats why it is favored. So i believe we should use the most modern and best metals in our shastars available.

there is no one making real wootz steel... trust me . anyone who clams this is dishonest and not trustworthy. i just look at your link it is modern wootz... the same stuff my kirpans are made of. wootz steel is a lost art. cant be done. the only way you can get wootz is to buy antique kirpans what were made back then.

i dont know what fulaadi loha is we are talking about wootz, if there was someone who could make real wootz he would be world wide recognized because hundreds are ppl are experimenting to figure out the secret to wootz.. you should encourage the ppl you know to step up and share there knowledge.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
