Guys,
Hi! I am sorry I missed this conversation earlier. Let me try to clarify things about "Indian" swords and blades.
1. Not all "Indian" producers are the same.
2. Deepeeka produces their swords in full tang, I will not say things I dont know about other manufacturers in this region.
3. The reason swords blade being shipped from India are non-sharp, that India does not allow swords for individuals, as can be purchased in Europe or USA or other places off internet or off the shelf. These are treated and classified as "weapons". We have to apply for a licence to produce, and have limits on annual quantity that we can produce. Thats why the shortage of swords and backlogs from Deepeeka in the market. Export of weapons is not allowed. The moment we make them non sharpened, they classify these as replicas- since apparently, "they cannot kill". And that is our line of business.
:-( :-( :-(
So, right now, we will continue to supply non sharpened blades.
Regards
Gagan
