I am transferring this to other over-lapping threads
Among traditional weapons, and other easily available weapons, the two I can think of are : khanda(curved short sword,usually used for cracking open coconuts, looks very much like traditional sword) ,available at most hindu households. Just make sure the blacksmith sharpens the entire curved end of the outer end, and the entire inner side. It is easily available, and non-descript, which means we can buy several if we choose. Train like a normal sword, and it would be truly a deadly weapon.
