Scissors Katar

Iliad · 6th March 2012, 09:49 PM

Hi all,
Herewith pics of a scissors katar which I have recently acquired. It is in poor condition and I am not expecting complimentary comment about it, but the issue which I am raising is not about this particular katar but about scissor katars in general.What is the purpose of such katars? If used to stab with the blades closed, then the blades cannot be opened while inside the body of the victim; if stabbing while the blades are open, then surely quite ineffective. Is it a parrying dagger? If so, then how effective?
Regards to all,
Brian
