Scarf welding is one of Indian blade making techniques, was done intentionally for purposes of enhancing blade's capacity/resistance against impact. It normally joins plain steel and woots near blade's base. Neither this partucular katar nor Jens' sword are examples of scarf weldeding in it's classical form.
