Hey Rand,
Yes I agree, the hilt is quite a bit older than the blade. Its an interesting katar, I wish I could examine it, hands on.
Ward, thank you very much for the new pictures, you have a lovely katar. How old do you estimate it to be? Is there any indication from where the blade is, other than from a sword?
Maybe a new thread should be started with south Indian katars, so we don’t drown Tom’s thread with other katars.
