Kirpan Sahib 5inch (ColorFull)

What is a kirpan?

A kirpan is a small sword, worn in a sheath on a strap or belt.  It is an article of faith that initated Sikhs are supposed to wear at all times.

The word kirpan comes from two words which translate as mercy and bless. The kirpan is supposed to be a weapon of defence only.

Giani Atma Singh Aziz holds kirpans prior to a news conference by Swiss knife maker Victorinox in New Delhi Sept. 1, 2004. The company launched a series of Kirpans in India to mark the 400th anniversary of the installation of the Granth Sahib, Sikhism’s holy scripture, at the Golden Temple. ((B. Mathur/Reuters))

It is usually worn under clothes. The blade is typically about 8 centimetres long, but ceremonial kirpans are the length of a standard sword. Manvir Singh, a Sikh minister of religion in the U.K., told CBC News that there is no size requirement but the kirpan cannot be so small that it is merely symbolic. And the blade must be iron or steel.

The kirpan is one of the five Ks of Sikhism.
