Have sent you a PM.

Chris, katar blades only 7 inches in length are not a rarity. I have seen blades even 5 inches long forged along with the grip. Generally Indian blades were shorter than the foreign ones(originally longer sword blades shortened down) that are seen in profusion later.

Thanks for the clearer snap, Emanuel.
