On top of that, Poland has an insane number of gorgeous women. Polish men are not lazy: they understandably try to stay home as much as possible. Can’t blame them

More seriously for the koummiya I think your harsh stament is based on the fact that you saw only ugly koummiya from the 1900ties or later. If you had in hand a nice koummiya from the mid 19th c you will change your mind. By the way i never saw a koummiya before 1800... The blades come like that it's not that they are sharpened or not. Ariel comparison with some Persian khanjar is very true. |

The only koumiyyah I've owned had a decent thick blade but the grip was atrocious as was the overall balance - It was nail ndotted 1936 Algeria. Took an instant dislike to it. |

Look like Libyan Bou Saadi Khodmi knives. They are cool, still made and used. Love mine.

They are bigger and longer as a Bou Saadi and when I am not mistaken coming from Morocco. Regards, Detlef |

p.s.- Half my family came from areas that are now Poland, were Prussia and Austria Galetia back then. We were the German speaking part. The Polish plumbers and construction workers in the UK usually make the indigenous ones look less than industrious, especially the Union ones. Last edited by kronckew; 30th March 2020 at 11:07 PM. |
