Kindjal(qama)s produced for dancing?

Just to elaborate on the last statement: in the former USSR one needed an official police permit to buy a hunting knife from a sports goods store. Each such knife was numbered and registered. That was allegedly to prevent criminal violence, but in reality to leave citizens unarmed. The Party, in its infinite wisdom, never thought about kitchen knives, pitchforks, broken bottles and a multitude of improvised or self-made sharpies. Eventually, the regime crumbled under its own weight, with no armed struggle. The Kindjal shown by Roland was made well after that:-)
