From the broken blade of khanda the khyber knife blade was made. This is indicated in my opinion by the hole on the blade, the absence of a T-bladed and an uncharacteristic sharpening of the tip. I'm sorry if I was inaccurate at first.

Ahah!
Thank you for the explanation, and I was totally off on the wrong course.
That sounds like a viable theory, and of course as with many blades they are reworked and reprofiled in so many cases. I am often known to pursue unusual lines of thinking, as my wife says, chasing zebras when I hear hoof beats. Thank you for your patience
