Hengdang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hengdang is a single edged sword with a long handle used by the Ahoms in India. The handle and the scabbard were designed in gold, silver or wood, according to the position of the person. It is similar in many ways to the samurai sword or katana. It has ceremonial use today in the Ahom marriage.
