Salaams Jim ~ I am a bit confused about the nature of this blade... I understand that normally Jamadhar Katari had a single edge and were slightly curved... and that there was a peculiar pommel atop the hilt. Is this a refit using a straight push dagger blade often called a "katar" and has the pommel dropped off this one or is it a turned katar hilt grip or all of the above?
