Hello All!

I have been doing a great seal of looking into the Tunisian dagger and I still cannot decide wheather it is a flyssa or kard. But the most persisting question to me is is this knife "Berber" or "Arab" for though it roughly takes the form of a berber flyssa very little of Tunisia's population defines themselves as Berber. But I never heard of a Arab Flyssa only a Berber Flyssa.
Any help whould be welcome.
