Here is a link to a photo of the swordsman and the Kattara

I tried throwing the Kattara .. Its easy ... the difficult bit is catching it and as they tend to be quite sharp.... vital to take it by the hilt . I believe this was a martial exercise and use the fact to argue against the suggestion of wrist strap through the pommel hole... The fact is I cant find that thread... but I will... and further I also found out that old Kattara dont have pommel holes.. This leads me to think that the new bladesmiths thought it should have a hole in it. So it has.
