Katar
The katar or suwaiya (Tamil: கட்டாரி kaţţāri, Marathi: कट्यार katyaar, Hindi: कटार kaţār, Panjabi: kataa) is a type of push dagger from India. It is characterised by its H-shaped horizontal hand grip, which results in the blade of the sword sitting above the user's knuckles. Unique to South Asia, it is the most famous and characteristic of Indian daggers. Ceremonial katar were also used in worship.
