Hi Rich!

What is a khodmi? Where do they come from?

It does indeed appear to be a khodmi,there seem to be several different form though and the ones with guards generally seem to be newer,ill post pics of my khodmi for comparison,in a day or so.

Hi all!

So that is what a khodmio is, I wonder if the crossguard is a idea borrowed from the French stiletto of the 19th. century while Morocco was occupied by them? Are these attributed to a specific tribe or is it reigenal to the Atlas mountains of Morocco and Algeria? Thanks for the quick I.D. of this dagger.

P.S.- I have been hunting for a Libyan dagger for a while now and I can't seem to find one or what one looks like or even a name? I know at some point in history they must have had them what happend did they all dissaper!
