A combined saber Qatar (also Coutar , Katah , Koutah , Kutah , Kutar or Bundi dagger ) is a combination weapon consisting of a dagger and a saber from India.
Description of the weapon
A combined saber qatar is made up of two blades that are joined together. The dagger blade becomes narrower from the handle to the location , is double-edged and common for the standard type of Qatar . The second blade is that of an Indian talwar . It becomes narrower from the booklet to the location, is sharp and curved on one side. The Qatar handle is typically designed for this type of dagger. The hilt of the talwar consists of two rings, which are attached to the back and the cutting edge of the saber at a non-sharpened point ( ricasso ). The two weapons are connected by a screw connection and can be quickly separated if necessary. The Talwarkblade can be held after the separation with the help of the two rings. There are different versions of such combination weapons.
