Help needed to identify KATAR

I cant say that I have seen a katar with a crooked blade like this one, but then again, I have not seen them all.
The hilt seems to be from south India, maybe 17th century or later.

These are some examples that I found, although the one on the left is really what the blade is like.

You can hardly compare the blades off these two katars, with the katar blade on the first katar you showed.
