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. |
