The KATAR: An Iconic AND Underrated Historical Weapon

Iconic as it is, some people seem to dismiss it as less useful than conventional knives and daggers. So let's take a look at the history of this unique weapon and dive into the functionality of its design. Anything from its origin (as shown in temple sculptures) to hooded katars to a strange 19th century evolution, the scissor katar.
