Hi Rivkin,
This short size sword, the Kinjal is called " Qama" in Circassian is the blade that would replace the conventional sword in close arm combat. The steel is made in layers, manipulated in heat tempretures and soaked in water, over and over again to a degree where the blade bocomes so flexable and two sharp edged with two non-aligned groves to evacuate the stream of blood resulted from a stabbing in an arm fight.
This is a true Circassian Dagger used by all north Caucassian nations which is made a signifying symbol in their national costume, you can see every where in the Caucasus whenever a national event takes place!
