Wahegurujikakhalsa wahegurujikifateh !!

Sangat ji

if at first amrit sanchar Guru Gobind singh ji used this khanda

then why are we using a smaller one thats not even proper read shastar , without dhar and made with soft iron?

why dont we use a proper battle ready khanda like patshahi 10vi ji?

was it distorted latter by british?

Seriously, I don't there is an answer to that question, unless someone can show a similar Khanda being used in Guru Sahib's time or near enough to do Amrit Sanchar seva similar to today's.

guru sahib used the khanda shown in first image , and some AKJ members use 3 foot khanda too

Got a good supplier who can provide 1.5 - 2 foot Sarbloh Khandas that are functional? :biggrin2:

"AKJ members" - lol indeed - do they have membership cards or something? Maybe the Taksali posse and the Nanaksari gang does...

:stupidme:

but you can order online many shastar sites and its very easy , the shastar must be razor sharp too

Links please...I am interested in getting some to donate to the local Sangat here if such a thing is easy to get. I know I can get a Khanda, but Sarbloh and of appropriate length is important. Unless the Amrit Bataa is huge, I don't know how a 3 foot Khanda would be balanced within most batae being used in Amrit Sanchars today (not much bigger than say a 5 quart/liter capacity). I suspect this is why the current Khandae were developed - to scale the size down to the bata.

thats just manmatt of people, maybe they went under british influence?

idont think that sings in jungle would be like "wait we need to find smaller khanda" lol

akalshastars , akal armoury etc

besides sarbloh means

sarb-all

loh- iron

all iron

so this is damascus steel style khanda you can ask the guy if its presharpened

actually as fas as I know at Takhay Keshgarh sahib they use the 3 foot khanda, I saw it in a movie once a while back. I don't know if that is the one they use always or its just on special occasions.......

This seems like an ideal set up in terms of dimensions. A bit blunt though. Perhaps similar ones were the basis of the current Khanda.
