I would have to disagree with Mr.Kirpichev. Centuries of literary evidence and historical documents show that it was Indian smiths that excelled in making blades, after which come the Yemeni's (im talking medieval era here). Unless Mr.Kirpichev comes with solid foolproof evidence (not some nationalist BS), I wouldn't believe it.
