pahari sword/cobra sword


karud knife {straight} (first) and pesh kabz {curved} (second)


khyber sword


ghaznavid spear head


the reason why there are so many afghan swords an knifes is because sword and knifes were for commoners and merchants for their own protection
in the army swords and knifes were always secondary weapons
primary weapons were spears and bows before the gun age
