The ayudha katti is the traditional sword of the Kodavas [1] The Kodavas inhabit the region of Kodagu in southwestern India in what is now the state of Karnataka. The Kodavas have resided in the area for over 2 millennia cultivating paddy fields, maintaining cattle herds and carrying arms during war.[2][failed verification] The invention of the ayudha katti probably started around the 17th-century. It was first invented as an implement used to cut through dense undergrowth.[3] The shape of the blade is similar with the Turkish yatagan and northern Indian sosun pattah, which indicates that it is related to the Ancient Greek kopis blade.[3]
