I have searched other sites using the key words and am still confused, From my search so far, internet and ref books, I am led to believe that Kindjal is the term used in Russia whilst everywhere else uses the term Qama or a derivative of this term. There appears to be some confusion regarding the Qaddara which some sources say that it is the term used for a large kindjal or qama and others say that it is the name given to a curved kindjal. None of the sources provide info on difference in blade types and the characteristics that determine the country of origin except for Georgia and some Russian types. Thanks for pointing out this site, I should have known this. I look forward to further searching and hope that it helps clear up some if not all of my confusion. Miguel |

Its me again, I forgot to mention that the opinion I formed is that they are all Kindjals except in Georgia where they are Qamas, an over simplification I know but it does for me. Miguel |
