Description

h-shaped handle with two crossbars, double-edged pointed blade, sheath made from light wood, stretched with red fabric, the tip reinforced with metal, min. dam., slight traces of corrosion and usage;
because the “katar’s” blade is in line with the user’s arm, the basic attack is a direct thrust identical to a punch, although it could also be used for slashing. This design allows the fighter to put their whole weight into a thrust. Typical targets include the head and upper body, similar to boxing. The sides of the handle could be used for blocking but it otherwise has little defensive capability.
