"Mad Mahdi" Dagger

About kindjals and Sudan - I always thought that the slave trade in Sudan in the past few centuries was controlled by Circassians, I always thought that after the annihilation of mameluks by Arabs in Egypt they've finally settled in Dankla and other northern cities (Sudan remained under the mamluk control for a few extra decades).

But I've never seen any caucasian weaponry coming from Sudan.

To Jim: ugh, you may be surprised but until the latest DNA research was conducted, majority of georgians believed in their blood relation to celts, specifically to highlanders.
