description
The three-blade Qatar has three blades. The main blade pointing forward is straight, double-edged and becomes narrower from the handle to the location . The two side blades are the same in length and shape. They are attached to the two bracers, double-edged and bent slightly S-shape. The handle is made in the shape usual for the Qatar (dagger) and provided with an iron protective cap, which is identical to that of the hooded cat . It protects the entire guide hand up to the wrist. The three-blade Qatar is a version of the Qatar and a hybrid form between the normal Qatar and the Haladie . There are numerous versions of the Qatar that vary in length, shape, and design. It is used by warrior caste in India.
