Sorry for joining so late. I believe the two different types Ariel shows are due to tribal differences, like stated earlier.
Rick, I think N2s is playing tricks on us, showing only part of the sword. I think I see a false edge too, and do I also see a ricasso?
I too was surprised to see a Khyper knife with a ricasso, and I am with you about the ‘artistic license’, but I don’t buy RobT’s suggestion about expanding the area, where these knifes was used, widely.
Sometimes Afghanistan was a province of Persia, and sometimes of India – it was even at times regarded part of India – not a province.
