European blades in India

Jens Nordlunde · 10th January 2016, 09:18 PM

Thinking about it, is it not so, that when we look in the back mirror, we remember the European writings that the Indians wanted/prefered the European blades, and not the Indian writings about these blades?
European blades were at a time no doubt in fashion, so everyone would like to have a blade with an European inscription - fake or not. But this does not mean that the Indians did not/could not make high quality blades.
