    And that’s a real dagger tucked into his sash. (I learned a bit about fighting Sikhs from reading Neal Stephenson’s Termination Shock, and watching a load of YouTube videos.)

      The Sikh dagger (kirpan) must be worn and sheathed, but does not have to be sharp. So it is not necessarily a functional dagger.

        If he’s a Nihang wearing the world’s biggest turban and 8 ridiculously gigantic karas, then, my friend, taya-ji there definitely sharpened his kirpan. 🤣

        He might be stoned, too.
