Well Jeff, your link is only "lame" only because it is a general rule of these forums that you upload images of items you wish discussed directly to the forum. The link works fine now, but the odds are that in 5 years or so it will not and then this will be a useless thread in the archives with no illustration of the blade present to make sense of what we were talking about.

So if you could upload some photos that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I know exactly what it is and will tell it soon as we have direct pictures.

Hi Jeff:

This is a well known knife and Detlef will tell you all about it. I have attached a screen shot of your picture. Next time please upload your pics directly to this forum using the Attachments feature.

Well, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to pass on some information rather than just soak it up, so I hope Detlef won't mind while I just blurt out a few snippets, as I just can't contain myself

:

It's a Khodmi or Bou-Saadi from the town of Bou-Saada in Algeria.

Here's mine that I came across a couple of weeks ago:

Also a very nice older example!

It's a Bou Saada/Saadi or Khodmi from Algeria. Use the given keywords and you will find many similar ones like yours. When I find the time I will take pictures from the two I have.

Regards,
Detlef

cool, thanks; I took a vacation from the fora and forgot all the proper posting manners, as soon as I re-read the instructions and take another photo or two I'll try to be a good contributor ;-)
