Kindjal (qama) for Restoration

Martin Lubojacky,

Interesting. Is the center fuller on both sides? When I have seen old blades, the long center fullers are usually off center and offset from one another. How common is it to see centered and aligned fullers on old blades?

Sincerely,
RobT

The central fuller is on both sides and is identical. This type is probably not as common as symmetrically distributed multiple (triple) grooves. But you are right, asymmetrical single offset fullers are probably the most common. If you enter "kindjal"or qama in the search engine, you will see lots of examples (also without fullers).
