Hello,
I don't think the Bou Saada knives can be compared to the knife in question. The former have an integral bolster forged as part of the blade, whereas the latter has a a separate bolster, very different construction. The circle motif decoration has been shown on many different types of weapons and objects from around the world with the good argument that it developed independently in most places. It's a simple design  Same with the leather-clad wooden sheath. I think the knife in question is a north-Indian/Central Asian derivative of the kard Regards, Emanuel Last edited by Emanuel; 13th January 2012 at 03:17 PM. |

hello guys
North Africa, wrong way. Only time fantasizing. Blade shape. = Working Knife Handle, I've seen several of these type of knife, never with a wooden handle, always ivory , why? there is no wood in this region? why never with horn handle? Ivory handle. = There is a lot of ivory there. or ivory as a symbol? Sheath, a part of the handle is in it, which occurs in many Knife by nomadic tribes so that the knife never get lost. Why a second leather, on a leather sheath? Sheath with belt loop = there are trousers worn with a belt or jacket with a belt? South Asia, no, there are dresses tied with a sash. These are just thoughts! smile. gruss chregu |

Hi there
 There are many aspects to work with what everyone has written to help us all with yes and no... "but why" should always be asked...it is not much longer than a no, but without "but why" there is no learning  I have quantified through following posts aspects for consideration both in Algeria & North Africa, SEA and Central Asia with both words and images ....without rewriting everything, all views from all people help but things together and in context, is it fun One must not forget colonial powers within any region and cutlery made for their tastes by native hands rather than keeping our minds eye native styles used by native people...could be Pakistan for all I know but offering information right or wrong and offering similarities and accuracies for thought may cloud but it also helps in the big picture. Chegru, great to see further working deductions...no North Africa...do you dismiss Africa totally? I still feel with a qualified "in me bones" Africa.... Northern too The finish to the steel blade, although I am not a blacksmith, this "rough" slag like finish I have seen often in daggers from Albacete....perhaps others have seen the finish elsewhere too All for now
