Category:Weapon Users:Khanda

The Khanda is a double-edged straight blade sword. The blade is usually broad and quite heavy, and broadens from the hilt to the tip. The blade transforms into tip rather abruptly somewhat resembling the tips of ancient Roman swords. The hilt has a small metal spike coming out in the opposite direction which is typical of Khanda. Many other straight swords around the world are primarily used for thrusting and stabbing with the tip, whereas the Khanda is mainly used to hack or cleave with the edge of the blade. This is used as a means to take down enemies with armor, or destroy a barricade.
