I THINK THE MOPLAH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ADYA KATTI FOR ONE THING IT IS SMALLER AND LIGHTER. THE ADYA KATTIS IS PRIMARILY A WEAPON AND THE MOPLAH MAY BE MORE OF A CEREMONIAL KNIFE. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE I READ THAT BUT I THINK IT MAY BE CORRECT.
 #1. THRU #6. VARIATIONS FROM THE MALIBAR COAST CLOSE TO MOPLAH SO PERHAPS VARIATIONS. #7. THRU #10 ADYA KATTIA ,MALABAR SWORD #11. A MOPLAH #12. A FANCY SILVER PICHANGATTI 19 TH CENTURY, BLADE 19 CM. |

THERE IS SOMETHING SIMILAR IN NEPAL THAT IS A SACRIFICIAL KNIFE IT IS CALLED A RAM DAO. THE DESIGN ON THE RAM DAO IS A CENTIPEDE AND AN EYE.
