Lothi
 

In the (few) books I have, I found similar daggers only in a booklet by Hermann Historica, where they are called "Lothi" from Tibet. The furniture are similar to the ke-tri http://www.aiusa.com/medsword/ethsword/tibet/index.html
Where might I found more news about it ? Above all, I wish to know why the cross section is concave/convex.
Any help will be appreciated !!!!

Really no one may give to me an help?

Could it be Kashghari dagger rather that Tibetan?

I think the curvature is to make the item rub/catch less on a person or garment when it is worn.

Does anyone have Kashghar daggers in his collection?

Ariel,
why do You suppose the dagger might be from Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan? IMO the works on silver and the use of coral and turquoise are more in Tibet style. I send the pics of Herman Historica booklet. The two daggers seems similar to my one.

You are correct. My memory played a trick on me.
Kashgar knives ( Uyghur people) look very similar to Uzbeki Pichoks.
