Thanks, I did think about the mark's location.
Concerning fragility - I would not say so about this blade. I've seen kattaras only on photographs, so I can't make an opinion, but this blade, while quite light, nevertheless seems sturdy enough. It's quite thick in the middle, however may be a little bit lighter than similar european blades. The sword has a total mass of 950 gramms (give or take).
