Description

A Prominent wootz Blade Katar; with section engraving, raised spine and thick chiseled tip. A Perfect fighting weapon with nice esthetic value too. The handle is forged welded with blade but with such intricacy that it almost looks one peace construction. Wider than usual handle strips, shows the purposeful military application.
