Because they don ' t instantly love your childhood gaming device ? lol <| sep |> First off Guru Sahibs time has not ended , now is the time of the Guru . Second , its irrelevant what technology they used in the past becuase we live on the present . The Human versions of the Guru used horses , arrows , swords , and shields . Does that mean that Sikhs today still use the same technology ? No . It is irrelevant what Sikh factions such as Nihungs , AKJ , Taksalis do . Thanks to our bad historical records and there continous destruction during times of war , must recently 1984 , we have no record that specifically instructs Sikhs to construct a Kirpan in a certain style or material . The Sikh is given the basic guidelines of what a Kirpan is and he can construct his own version that is practically useable for him according to his own needs . A Japanese Sikh could construct a Katana , a european Sikh could build a Longsword , hundreds of years down the line a Sikh in a galaxy far far away could construct a Lightsaber . We must not restrict the Kirpan to a certain style or material . The only reason early Sikhs used Sarbloh Iron was becuase it was Cheap , Strong , and easily available . There are no mystical properties of Iron that a lot of conservative Sikhs claim , it ' s all bullshit and not scientifically proven . A metal doesn ' t make a Kirpan , mercy , grace , compassion , honor , dignity , kindness , justice and practical functionality make a Kirpan . Being an Amritdhari Sikh isnt about wearing the 5 ks , its about giving your head to the Guru .
