Hi mate, and sorry for the Time to answer, Im a bit busy these days.

Thanks for those details, there now absolutely no doubt about the algerian origin of those knives. You Can also see the same kind of mounting on one of my bou-saadi.

You are right about the age of those knives. In facto, bousaada is known as a Sword making area for centuries.

Amically, Khaled.

Hi Khaled,

No problem, I know this problem very well!

And thank you again for confirming my guess that they are all Algerian in origin as well for the age guess confirming and the links you send me by pm.
Have a nice evening,
Detlef

Very nice khodmi Yuri with beautiful patination! But the examples in up are much longer, the longest one is 38,6 cm without scabbard, the shortest 35,3 cm. These longer Bou-Saadi daggers have a ricasso and never the wire binding the small version always have.
Here is a picture from a longer "small" Bou-Saadi together with the shortest and longest "big" version.

Best regards,
Detlef
