suggestions on best affordable kirpan to buy?

[S1ngh]

Look for sarbloh taksali 6/7inch kirpan. Their quality is good and durable. Best quality at affordable price - not more than 30$. Availability is rare in regular Indian stores but always there at taksal shops. Get it shipped from Amritsar and that is the best choice.

This is a great option as well, but make sure they're authentic. There are a lot of rip offs that aren't made from Rattowal Pind. My 5-6" one is a taksali rattowal kirpan. To check to see if the kirpan is a rip off of a taksali kirpan you can look at the miyaan and put your nails/fingers over the metal design. If it's uneven there it will be rough. Make sure to check the blade as well.

Check out this video of them making the kirpana. Unfortunately the sarbloh isn't of the highest quality, but it does the job and is very practical. You can use some sort of coil/mesh string to make the handle easier if you want to.

If you are after high quality every day Kirpans/Sri Sahibs see the 7", 9" and 12" ones we have on our website. These Sarbloh Sri Sahib have been custom made in Sabrawah and we've made sure they are amongst the best you can get. The casing on them is flush and polished so there is almost no bumps and ridges on the outside between the metal work and the wood, which often catch in your clothes and the Sri Sahib itself is fairly sharp to begin with.

Be very very careful of certain famous (or infamous) sword makers if you do not know your shastars

All that shines is not gold (or wootz/zor in this case).... take the hint
