Nice one Lew,
is it unusual to have one cross bar (although it widens at either end) ? How does it feel 'in the hand' ?

Hi Lew,
Congratulations with your new katar. To see a katar with a copper hilt is not common at all – are you sure it is copper?
Please let us see some better pictures when you get it – also from the side.

Hi Katana,
One cross bar is not common, but you see it now and again. Have a look at this.

Jens

I have already handled this katar at Timonium and I am pretty sure it's copper or copper flashed I will take better pics once it arrives next week.
