Cold Steel - Talwar Sword

The Indian Talwar is considered by many to be one of the finest cutting swords ever devised. Taking design cues from the most experienced Indian Swordsmen of the past, and the Pindari chief of old, Amir Khan, our company President Lynn C Thompson combined the strongly curved blade of the British Light Cavalry Saber with its distinctive hatchet point (wider near the tip than the forté) with a traditionally styled and highly functional Indian hilt.
The blade of our Talwar is hand forged from incredibly resilient 1055 Carbon steel and features a broad fuller and a combat sharp edge. It is superbly counter-balanced by its beautifully crafted brass hilt -- which features an intricately decorated surface, thick quillons, a single knuckle bow and a traditional dish shaped pommel to lock your hand securely in place even when making big, swinging cuts.
The Talwar comes complete with an excellent wood and leather scabbard is capped at either end with a thick brass throat and chape.
Our Indian Talwar is a popular sword with historical re-enactors and Martial Artists. A beautiful addition to any collection, it is also a ferociously effective sword that will serve you well on or off the battlefield.
SPECS:
Blade Length: 33"
Overall Length: 39"
Steel: 1055 Carbon
Weight: 47.6 oz
Handle: 6"
Scabbard: Leather / Wood Scabbard with Brass Fitting

Yeah in Deadliest Warrior we saw an expert practitioner of bushido cut two pigs at the belly where they're weakest, laying down on a hard surface and with an overhead hacking cut. Then later on another season we saw a fat historian with zero weapons training absolutely devastate a hanging pig and splitting it's skull effortlessly with the turkic/balcan Kilij which is very close in design to the Talwar. The Talwar and Kilij (and the polish Szabla and russian Shashka) cut as well as the Katana, but let you hold a shield with your off hand, which makes them much better swords.

Na check the katana vid from this channel in comparison. Katana is much more effective sword. Tulvar is not very practical.

The fraw-vut is preferred, as is the use of the leg movement thrust and cut. But talwara can be used with wristy action also. It would hurt your hand a bit if you tried to do very fast and umcontrolled swishing wristy movement in the air. But if you strike something which resists (eg a human torso) you won't hurt your hand.

***** I have a number of 1 handed swords ranging from 2 to 3 lbs. 6 oz to a pound may not sound like a lot, but in the form of a long thin piece of metal, straight or curved, it's a world of difference. The heavier the sword, the more awkward the disengage, and it's easier to overcommit in a strike. I've always found swords to be much more lively in the 2 to 2.5 lbs range.

Talwar is basically a one hand sward and in other hand you have shield. Onve you hot the flow by swinging it it takes milliseconds to💀

[@smartbaba1321]

There are 10+ types of Tulwar, this one is tega Tulwar. Most popular if "bhawani Tulwar" & Dhop Tulwar invented by Maratha king Shivaji.

How thick is its blade...and why doesnt cold steel mention thickness of blade like their machetes?.... please tell me the thickness!!!!

[@bigdiccdaddyjones]

Their swords are usually 6-8mm thick and their machetes are 2-2.8 inches thick based on what i have seen. You can always just look on kultofathena

Add Sosun Patta, Kirach, Ram Dao and Khoda to the list.

BTW the so-called Firangi is originally named the Dhop. It is basically a Khanda with a pointed tip, so it can even be used for stabbing.

[@mrgreg119911]

What is more powerful this or the katana ?

[@Defengar]

Katana, as that is a two handed weapon. You get exponentially more cutting power using 2 hands.

[@JTWilliams74]

Actually there is no real evidence to say that a katana would have more power. Delivering a cut with a one handed weapon uses an entirely different form than delivering a cut with a two handed weapon. And it comes down to more than just the arm strength, the shape of the blade is quite obviously highly important to how well a sword cuts and there is a great deal of science behind the blade of a tulwar. Look up the channel ScholaGladatoria, it's run by a historian named Matt Easton and he can explain far better than I.

[@JohnnyWolfblood]

Defengar I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. As sharp as the katana is, the heavy curve on this gives WAY more brute force.

[@karthimechify]

greg armstrong go for a smaller katana like a chisa or even wakizashi if u want a simple weapon used by bith hands, the talwar is not heavy, but requires training and practise to be actuall usefull.. prpperly trained, talway is way better than any katana.

[@monsieurboks]

Defengar Do you even know what exponentially means? I hate it when people use it in place of "a lot".

[@vatiguti]

I am debating on whether I should buy this or the Shamshir. I like this sword a lot but the problem is I don't know how comfortable the handle will be but it is a beautiful sword tho.

[@mariannerasmussen3003]

depends what you want to use it for. foe me, i wanted a mongolian arms collektion and the shamshir fits the bill, and i use my swords alot, so if you wan t to cut away, go shamshir, but for decoration, the talwar is best. get it off knifecenter.com. its muth cheaper. regards lukas

[@vatiguti]

Marianne Rasmussen well i actually have a website where its 225 for talwar and 240 for shamshir. I think the talwar is pretty but historically inaccurate. they literally took the british light cavalry sabre and put it on an indian handle. The shamshir is more historically accurate but not as fancy looking. idk im really 50/50 about it. i think they would both cut very well tho...

[@mariannerasmussen3003]

the talwar cuts better,but the shamshir feels better in the hand. if i were you, i would go for shamshir, because its both pretty and historically correct. and it cuts well, not as good as the talwar, but i could shave with it if a wanted to.

[@vatiguti]

indians talwars historically doesn't have a hatchet point and doesn't have the thick groove in the blade. Historically the tip was either curvy or had a very sharp point like the shamshir and the blade either had a very thin groove or no groove at all. I see the shamshir as a bit more versatile than the talwar provided by csknives

There is an entire war in the comment sections, in my opinion, the Talwar was introduced to India by Muslims and were used by Muslims in the early era, but later on Hindus made their own variants of the Talwar which are now used by the Rajput warriors, Sikhs e.t.c, So in conclusion Talwar belongs to the Islamic culture but a part of it is also in Late-Hindu culture.

[@manuk8244]

Wrong Talwar itself is a Sanskrit word used to derive this sword, the scimitar like sword was present way before Islam came Pictures of Ancient Indian wars have shown that

[@predator1409]

Actually no, the word “Talwar” is derived from sankskrit meaning just “sword”, but this word is also used in Urdu and Hindi and in Bengali with a derivation “Toloar”, so your theory is quite wrong as the use of the word is also there in other languages

[@manuk8244]

@@predator1409 Nope the Talwar was adopted from word Tā-ra-vari in Sanskrit and mind you, you should read about Sirohi Sword of the Rajputana confederacy which was used by Rajputs pretty much similar looking to talwar but present before Mlecchas ran a mock in India

Talwar name was originated from sanskrit word tarawari(one edged sword) sankrit is much older than jesus and allah.Talwar's curvature is less than shamshir sword. Hilt is purely indian, the bottom disk is indian forged steel blade. Claiming talwar as muslim invention is like claiming mosques as roman architecture.

Tarvari or talwar means single edged sword. It does not mean curved sword. Also curved sword can be forward or backward curved. Hindus never used sabre before Islam.

+DavidAkhter That sword doesn't really have enough weight to it for that, they do line up a few and cut through them in videos for some of their heavier swords though.

[@DavidAkhter]

***** True enough. I am just wondering what effect such weapons would have on for example a 250 pound man with full clothing and a jacket on. I have no doubt a pig carcass does NOT accurately represent the hardiness of such an example.

[@nutyyyy]

+DavidAkhter There are numerous accounts of these swords lopping limbs off, as most cutting swords seem to do. The strength of the Tulwar was in the draw cut which could cause very deep and long cuts to an opponent, leading to massive blood loss. This doesn't mean it's necessarily the best chopping sword.
