Default Katar for comment

thanks for any info on this. i've always wanted one, but missed out on auctions till now. got this reasonably cheaply from a dealer in the middle east.

billed as:
Antique Katar Dagger South India 17th c
Interesting South Indian Katar dagger . Early 17th century.
General dimensions:
505 mm – Total Length
330 mm – Blade's length
30 mm - Handle's Width

note: queried him on the handle width, it's larger. dealer sent me pics of him holding it by the bar grips, which he says are 70mm.
