I am 1.65 m tall and have fine bone structure. When I was in India, I clearly felt that I am at least as tall as the majority of Indians, if not somehow taller. So, I beleve the 1.7 cm in Jens' posting is rather generous.
Most Indian Katars I have a grip width of 6.5-7 cm and fit my hand tightly.
The Katar, like the Tulwar require a very tight grip to ensure good control and strength.
