Specialty Definition: Katar

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A katar, also known as a Bundi dagger, is a type of short punching sword used in Persia and northern India. It is notable for its horizontal hand grip, which results in the blade of the sword sitting above the user's knuckles. Typically the sword was used in close range hand-to-hand combat, effective in armour piercing. The blade was often folded or corrugated for additional strength. "Hooded katars" are katars with a shield extending over the back of the user's hand. Katars ceased being in common use in the 19th century.




Katar (novel)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Katar is a novel by Stanislaw Lem, published in 1975. It brings up topics like the international terrorism and chemical warfare.

Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers!

A former astronaut is hired by a detective agency to help in an investigation of a case of mysterious deaths. Several victims became mad and committed suicide during their vacation in Napoli, apparently without reason.

During the investigation, it becomes apparent that certain innocent factors can be combined into a strong depressor, a kind of chemical weapon. The hero experiences its effects, however his training helps him to survive and solve the case.
