Chilanum & destiny

[Andy Davis]

Ah yes you guessed right.
I think hes quiet fun as a dealer, as long as you dont put any faith in his opnions, stories or identification and catch him at the right time for price. He seems to be as wrong in a good way (for my benefit, when I grab the opertunity) as being wrong for his own benefit, when I walk away.
I expected there had to be a ethnic description and the only thing my own research has found is Jambiya, from pg313 of Stones, theres one down at the bottom right corner. Such a open term for so many different styles, it seems worthless. Mind you, Stones also says khanjar is a open term for various types of knife, across many countries.
Oh for some clarrification by the writers of the main referances!
This type doesnt seem as common as many other types of knife from the same region, so is there anything significant about that? Are they an earlier period?
Cheers all
