Description

Item Description: Modern Custom "Lattice-Sunburst" Sirohi Talwar This is a Modern Custom Talwar, forged in the Sirohi style—characterized by its slender, aerodynamic blade and superior balance. This specimen is a masterclass in modern functional art, featuring a highly complex quadruple-fullered blade and a unique lattice-worked sunburst pommel. It represents the "Precision Tier" of the Leviathan Collection, where traditional Rajputana geometry is enhanced by modern metallurgical certainty. Core Components & Engineering The Blade (Quadruple-Fullered Steel): A long, slender single-edged blade with the shallow, elegant curve of a Sirohi dueling sword. Mass Management: The blade features four parallel fullers (grooves) running along the spine. In your professional "Process reliant" framework, this is the ultimate structural optimization. Each fuller acts as a longitudinal "I-beam" rib. By using four fullers instead of one, the bladesmith has achieved a hyper-rigid spine while removing the maximum possible non-functional weight. This ensures the blade will not "whip" during high-velocity parries. The Hilt (Lattice-Sunburst Variant): An all-steel Indo-Muslim hilt with a refined satin finish. The Lattice Pommel: The interior of the disc pommel features an intricate pierced lattice (Jali) sunburst motif. Unlike your solid or simple-engraved discs, this lattice work serves two "process" functions: it significantly reduces the weight of the pommel for a faster balance and creates a high-friction surface for the "levering" hand. Integrated Knuckle Bow: A slim, protective bow guards the fingers, terminating in a stylized bud near the pommel disc. The Scabbard: Housed in a wooden-core scabbard wrapped in deep maroon/crimson velvet. It features a wide silver-tone cord wrap at the throat and a simple steel chape (tip), maintaining the collection's "High-Status" aesthetic.
