| Description / विवरण | The gauntlet sword called Danda pata or pata in India is a double-edged sword with a gauntlet built into the handle to protect the hand. The most unusual characteristic is its handle where the user can insert his hand to provide full protection. Infantrymen mostly used the sword with a shield and occasionally for 1v1 duels. The sword can be used for both thrusting and slashing. A small is at the gauntlet. |
