Katars can be found in Jawa.

Construction is a little different to the construction of Indian katars, and the only ones I have seen had cross grips of wood, but these are still definitely katars.

There are some in the Keraton Surakarta collections, I think I've also seen them in the Musium Radyopustaka, and I have also come across them in the markets.
