Striking with a katar, a form of push dagger with an H-shaped perpendicular grip and a wide blade originating in India (Terry Dykstra, from "New Weapons For Old," describing a dozen new weapons for AD&D, by Jordan Clarke Hayes, Dragon 169, May 1991). The article misnames this weapon a "basilard," apparently due to a misinterpretation of the same term "H-shaped" used to describe a very different grip.
