[QUOTE=Kubur]What a nice weapon my friend!
What is the size and why the tip is protected?
Can you tell us more? Thanks

Hi Kubur
This Katti measures about 19 inches in length, i assume that the tip is covered with metal covering could be to protect the warrior from the pointed tip of blade when he carried it as it could inflict a wound.Thats what my guess is???
Someone else could know more about these weapons if the covering was for a functional purpose or Decorative.
Thanks Again
Rajesh
