pulwar
The pulwar or pulouar is a single-handed curved sword originating in Afghanistan. It is the traditional sword of the Pashtun people.
==Origin==
The pulwar originated alongside other scimitar-type weapons such as the Arab saif, the Persian shamshir, the Turkish kilij, and the Indo-Pakistani talwar, all of them ultimately based on earlier Central Asian swords. Originally, the Khyber knife (''chhoora'' or ''chhara'') served as the weapon of the common people while upper-classes could afford to import swords from neighbouring Persia and India. Over time, the Afghans combined characteristics of the imported swords and adapted it to create the pulwar. Most existing pulwar date back to the early 19th century.
