I must say this is quite unique. I have never seen such a thing as this before, and it is pretty cool looking. For some reason it makes me think of pirates.
Pirates eh? Hmm… Maybe it’s the shape of the barrel on the flintlocks. There are pirates who were known to carry a brace of flintlock pistols in addition to their cutlasses, they would have looked a lot like these… Except with a regular handle…
I think it made me think of pirates, becasue that would be quite conivnent, if you had your blade and pistol all in one. I know they were found of both stabbing and shooting.
Yes, very convenient indeed, though you have to wonder how they would carry something like this…
with difficulty i should imagine
too true. unless they used like three sword frogs in a row
Hmmm, is it just me, or is the trigger placement a little impractical? Lokks like you would have to be careful not to misfire as you unsheath-holstered it.
Wow cool !! i wish i had one !!
Wow, i actually found this site from this picture, when i was web surfing for pictures of gun hybrids, they really interest me. Anyways this is an awesome weapon, and i had never even though to search for a hybrid katar, lol. i think u could just stick it in your belt anyway, as all you would need to do would be to cover the blade so you didnt cut yourself, or you could put it in a sheath over your shoulder or something lol…
Yes, this does look like the kind of thing you could just stick in your belt, pirate style…
America’s first African-American President…yeah…about that. No, no, I’m not going to get into politics here, so never mind. Anyway, this is certainly an interesting piece. I did a little research on katars a while back when I initially came across the Tom Anderson’s “Critical Mass”, and this sorta thing wasn’t completely unusual. I think it’s a pretty cool idea. Here’s another one for you, if you can find it. While I was doing my research, I came across another weapon similar to a katar. It was a full-length sword constructed similarly to a katar. I think it would be an interesting feature on here, if you can find it. I’d help, but it’s been years, and I can’t remember where I saw it.
Yeah… I’m imagining a huge holster/sheath/scabbard… dunno what you’d call it… but it would be pretty ungainly… couldnt just stick it in your belt like they do in the movies… lol
