a shop owner form nalchick whanted us to make soem copies of it,,
, this ones in damascus and the makers mark stamped on the blade is a wolf,, dont know who the maker is ,, maybe a small smith,,
the shath is wood and is open on one side , like on a tibetian knife or sword, or on the knives from taiwan ,
on the back of the sheath where it is stiched the area is covered with polish paste,, so as to dress the knife when the edge becomes a little dull, or after crude sharpening,,
