Tulwar - the sabre of the Indian Mughals

The tulwar (also 'talwar' and other spellings) was a type of Indian sabre. I've handled a few and they vary quite a lot in feel. Mine is a heavy slasher, while others are far lighter.

Some more (quite old) videos on this kind of weapon:

Matt Easton has a video about it. He said that those handles are made to size. There are big ones as well

Notably used by Dick Sharpe to save Sir Arthur Wellesley at the battle of Assaye, an act that earned him a commission from the ranks and a swanky telescope.

hey man, just want to let you know that in the Gatka form of Tulwar combat, we utilize the small hilts/handles for control. instead of having to grip a large handle tightly for extended periods of time, we hold it with a slightly looser grip which allows us for more range of motion. most european sword styles depend on wrist movement, but the tulwar depends more on the shoulder joint, allowing us to grip a blade for longer with less fatigue.

Bro literally acquired a Tulwar the same week as me and explained my biggest complaint about it. I will say that the finger out feels incredibly intuitive, but would obviously be risky in combat

At that time every warrior used to have there own handsize customized ' Talwar ' accordingly to there hand size by Iron smiths (Lohars) 😭

I actually have a tulwar at home. Don't know if it is an original. But I agree with everything you say, the handle is just painful to hold. Also as you said, putting your finger over can be done, put it really hurts and doesn't provide as much control as you want

The way I have heard a Tulwar grip work is not to roll your finger over the guard, but have the guard rest on your thumb and your pointer finger for leverage, but the disc pommel needs to be as tight against the bottom of your hand as possible.

It ruins a lot of wrist movement that way, but the Tulwar is not meant to cut using the wrist instead of the shoulder is the main driver of that sword style.

I recall the steel that ‘Arnander’ was made from was said to be prone to rust. Maybe a video about how you maintain your swords?

For over a thousand years, most armies in what is now India and Pakistan have had a lot of light cavalry. This remained true under the British with divisions having a cavalry brigade.

Kinda funny how this channel has gone full circle back to the really short videos

Awesome video! I love how you show off a lot of these underrated weapons from other cultures! Indian weapons especially have some really cool designs like the Urumi, Chakram, Bagh Nakh, and my personal favorite, the ancient Maduvu/Madu.

I love that even though I didn't have my headset on to listen just yet, I could immediately read Lindys lips in perfect Lindy inflections as he said "This is a tulwar!"

Fellow indian here,
That one is actually more of a show piece sword of kings
Its not for the fighting thats why the handle is that small.

Yes we have one in the house.
And its used to cut a small/tiny branch of a tree in in desh-hera.
To mark the beginning that festival in that town and allow the leaves of that tree to be taken.
