The Kora, that originated from Nepal, is a sword that have a very curious appearance with a flared tip, and are of ancient origin. Heavy steel blade with extremely sharp inner edge, weighted shaped end with sharp lower point. The back edge of the blade is thickened to make the blade extremely rigid, the sides are decorated with a row of 'Z's deeply stamped into the metal, an eye is chiselled into the wider end part of the blade on both sides. Two shaped disc guards to the upper and lower grip with deeply struck designs, including the 'Z' motif on the blade. Curious shaped curved grip of solid black horn with perhaps space for two hands.
