The Iranian Sword has a split blade , like a fork, this was hand crafted in Tabrez, and bought to India.This is a deadly weapon , very sharp, the handle made of wood.
This guy who was using this sword was an expert,and sword matam requires technique and wrist agility..He swings the sword from the front and the scourgers move out of his way..nobody dare come in the path of the moving sword blade..
His friends helped me take pictures of the event, as I was being pushed from all sides..and this was one hell of a photo session..
