Kasthana sword

 

Kasthana sword is a traditional Sri Lankan sword that has been used for centuries. It is a single-edged, curved sword with a long handle and was used primarily by the Sinhalese kings and their warrior caste. The blade is made of high-carbon steel and can be up to 2 feet long. The handle is typically made of wood and is decorated with intricate carvings and sometimes precious stones. Kasthana swords are known for their beautiful craftsmanship and were often used as ceremonial weapons rather than in actual combat. Today, these swords are highly prized by collectors and are considered important cultural artifacts of Sri Lanka.
