Hello, 
 
I found this picture of old indians swords an harpoon, 
comes from Paul Jaiwant book Arms and Armour of India. 
archaic models. 
 
I don't pretend mine is so old ( or just a real old !! ) 
but it can be a mix between this old ''antenna'' sword and a katar, 
used in two ways, as a small sword or as a push dagger . 
 
Just an idea but why not ?!... 
 
For the handle efficiency-handling, I will try to wrap the bar with a strip of cloth 2-3cm thick and tell you.
