eBay auction for a Katar blade ...is it?

I also saw this peice a few times, it does not look right to me, the whole blade looks thickened not just the point, and in one of the pictures the seller had a marker sitting off in the left corner, which whould suggest that the peice is prety small, that is assuming the it is a regular sized marker

It makes me wonder is, why you accept the sellers postulate that the blade is from a katar. Besides from the quality and the not too good pictures, to me it looks more like the head of a lance, which has been broken.

Good 'point' Jens....

It is, indeed, almost certainly a lance or spear blade broken off above the sleeve or tang.
