Qama is distinctively single bladed, and Kindjal is distinctively double bladed. Not the same weapon type by any mean.
Hello Alex,

While I assume, that you were referring to the number of cutting edges, in your posting, I beg to differ!

To say it directly, you are completely wrong.

Best regards,

Yes, I meant edges of course, I corrected the text.
Marius, is Qama always double edged? And what is the difference between Qama and Qaddara?
