The khanda is an Indian double-edge straight sword.

The khanda is an Indian double-edge straight sword. It was used by the Marathas, Rajputs, Jats, Nairs and Sikhs. The blade is usually broad and quite heavy and broadens from the hilt to the tip. The blade transforms into tip rather abruptly. The hilt has a small metal spike coming out in the opposite direction typical of the khanda. Many other straight swords around the world were primarily used for thrusting and stabbing with the tip, whereas the khanda was mainly used to hack or cleave with the edge of the blade.
