We should remember that when aluminum was first discovered in the mid 19th century it was considered a precious metal. This Jamdhar katar may be older than you think.

Thats a very good point Rick! had not thought of that. I am always surprised at some of the materials used on weapons which I had thought of as 'modern'.

at the beginning of the use of aluminium around 1850 it was considered more expensive than gold. So it might be possible that this piece is that old in particular because its blade and grip are made of the same material in oder to demonstrate one's wealth
