Can Any Combat Style Knife Be Carried As A Kirpan

[dallysingh101]

Originally the kirpan was just one part of a broader panj hathiars (5 weapons). None of these were supposed to be 'symbolic' but practical, functional weapons to protect yourself and the panth. 

In my opinion ANY functional hathiar is infinitely better than some useless 'symbolic' thing.

Try walking down the street with a commando or bowie knife see how long you last in UK or US. You have to be sensible....and besides you can get a perfectly good cutting edge on a regular Taksali kirpan. its not the blade its knowing how to use it. How many people would be ready or aware how to use it in first place.

Depends how you wear it
