I got this kaskara a while back as I believed , because of the red leather grip cover, that it was Eritrean. I still believe that. The blade seems to be of good quality. The steel cross guard is certainly of superior quality. The fact that it has an inscription in Arabic does not disprove my assumption that it is Eritrean. Arabic is one of the two official languages of Eritrea, the other one being Tigrygna. At this point I really someone to translate this for me, hoping that it does not mean MADE IN TAIWAN WITH SCRAP METAL FROM CANADA.... Thanks.
