Firangi

I have returned with yet another sword!

This time it is a firangi, an Indian cavalry sword from the 16th century that blended European blades and domestic Indian hilts. The word firangi is used to describe Western Europeans, a fitting choice for this weapon.

The firangi featured seemingly any kind of European styled blade, which were often up to 38 inches long. Firangi came in a varity of blade profiles, the most common being single-edged, though double-edged and rapier-esque examples also survive (https://www.mandarinmansion.com/item/early-rapier-bladed-firangi). This firangi is a double-edged variety with a singular fuller through the center.

The hilt is similar to another domestic Indian sword, the Khanda (https://www.mandarinmansion.com/item/khanda-etched-blade), and allows for a two-handed grip, if needed, while also adding some extra protection when used single-handed.

This replaces the Zormor Tachi, for the sake of the two hand grip, and includes an invisible sheathe. This one also doesn't have anything you can really dye, but if you find the roughness/metallicness not to your liking you can change both of them in colorset 8B.
