A Unique Kattar?

Thanks Robert. I am always amazed at the ingenuity of us humans. Especially when it comes to mechanical things. I am a word guy, and just marvel at what folks with mechanical skills, brains, and creativity can do.

Jens, Good point. I agree with both you and Rand. It seems clear when you are looking for it, the differences between the hilt and the blade. So that seems to be the start of two searches. One related to the blade and one related to the hilt. There are so many aspects to this historical searching.

I will very carefully start to clean the holes. After that, what is the best to take off the rust on the blade? And then, do you "oil" it? I think I remember from another post your suggestion for car wax on the blade. Is that correct?

So, I don't keep "pestering" you with these maintenance questions, there might be threads related to cleaning and maintaining these great artifacts.
