[QUOTE=ariel]I have to respectfully disagree. I have yet to see a Sudanese blade of even minimally better-than-primitive quality.

There happens to have been some exceptional Sudanese pieces made for the wealthier class back in the late 1800s. This one is from Artzi's website. Notice the similarity in the blade shape and grind lines they are nearly identical. This dagger is as far from primitive as it gets.
