An inserted Qatar , engl. slided Qatar, (also Coutar , Katah , Koutah , Kutah , Kutar or Bundi Dagger ) is a dagger from India .
description
A pushed-in Qatar has two straight, double-edged blades. The blades taper from the handle to the location and become narrower. The blades are of different sizes. The larger of the two is made hollow and is used to hold the smaller blade. Both blades have a handle, which is made in the usual way for Qatar . In this version, the handle of the smaller Qatar runs in a kind of rail within the handle of the larger Qatar. If necessary, the smaller Qatar can be pulled back out of the larger one. This is useful if you need a second weapon for two-handed combat, or if the outer, larger blade is dull or broken. A retracted Qatar is a version of the Qatar. It is used by warrior caste in India.
