Interesting Katar with chiseled blade for comment

I don't know too much about katars but that one is beautiful!

But... my gut feeling is that it was owned by a rich man who maybe did not fight often with it... after-all, with all the decorations and carving... getting the flesh out of the holes, chiseled parts, and furrows will take more maintenance than a "normal" katar, hehehe... or perhaps being a rich man he had more time/servants for such things?

I don't know...

Hi, What's, not to like about your unique Katar. I think the parrot motives have been stated elsewhere as 18th century. Here are three pierced parrot motive sheaths but the associated blades are not pierced. Beware the design is addictive. Steve
