I remember learning about those when I got curious, perhaps one could argue they're 'decorative' but the meaning behind them is very real, it's like warrior buddhist monks. People who don't know any better might take the piss out of the concept the fact is all these traditional weapons can easily be repurposed and put to use once again.
ISikhs have a very nice knife called a kirpan, wouldn’t surprise me to see those make a resurgence
Arent they supposed to carry it at all times for religious/cultural reasons?
Most of the time it's just unsharpened decorative item

I believe it’s more ceremonial for religious practices, but the initial use, as far as I’m aware was defensive use against Muslims.
When you are so aggressively against Muslims you would literally fight 476:1 odds to the death rather than surrender.
There needs to be a Sabaton song about this.
You son of a bitch out here bringing the facts
