I must have missed the original post, apologies.
I'd been given to understand that the ayda katti was rare, but I've seen a half-dozen for sale over the last several years. Most of those had more ornate hilts than the one posted above. So I'd agree with "uncommon, rather than rare." I don't know if the fancier examples were preserved because of their design elements over the plainer ones, or if they are seen more often because the marketplace fancies them. What actually is rare is the belt attachment which permits hands-free carry. I've only seen one come onto the market, and one picture from a museum. |

One of my favourite edged weapons. I'd be interested in any that may be available for sale.
Thanks Sid |

Hi guys,
I missed this one. You have nice Adya Katti! Here is mine but I think that I have a Moplah. Very heavy and sharp, aouch! |
