Description: 17th Century Indo Persian Katar & Scabbard 7 1/2" double sided blade 14 3/4" overall length The weapon is characterized by its H-shaped horizontal hand grip which results in the blade sitting above the user's knuckles Unique to the Indian subcontinent, it is the most famous and characteristic of Indian daggers The real name of this is "Kidaari" is from the ancient Tamil warfare class of weapons Because the katar's blade is in line with the user's arm, the basic attack is a direct thrust identical to a punch, although it could also be used for slashing This design allows the fighter to put their whole weight into a thrust The sides of the handle could be used for blocking but it otherwise has little defensive capability Scabbard has paisley pattern textile with part appearing to be blue/purple felt Price: $849.00
