| Description / विवरण | A Kattari, Katara or Katar also known as a suwaiya or Bundi dagger, is a type of short punching sword that originated in South India as Kattari and spread throughout India. It is used to make swift and quick attacks. It is notable for its horizontal hand grip, which results in the blade of the sword sitting above the user s knuckles. Typically, kattaris were used in close range hand-to-hand combat, which is effective in armour piercing. |
