thank you

Salaams weapons 27 ~ Looks nice with a tree of life pattern forward of the hilt and arabesque scroll down the back edge ~ These are swords really and used like a butchers cleaver and have the ability to thrust effectively. The Khyber knife follows the same shape essentially but is about a foot long... Im not sure about the hilt... it could be new~ its an easy enough thing to have refurbished on a blade there... You should be able to tell looking at the rivet heads. The difficulty is deciding when the blade was worked upon... recent or old...
