Default thanks

thanks Jim McDougall and Manolo for information.... I post berber information this week ....

but abaut blade of moroccan dagger,for Azedine is not important blade of koummiya becouse berber use not good iron like european blade and much koummiya are confused with tourist item but it is good....

for Azidine this little koummiya is good , not tourist item for exemple...blade is not made with good iron but he tell me that is not important for normal berber people....not scheich or head or rich berber....

sorry for my little english!!!

Like Fenris said, BerberDagger,
If you think you could use this knife in a fight, to cut or stab, then it may be good, even if it is made of poor materials. Usually a very thin blade is not useful, it may break more easily than a thick one.

Hello BerberDagger,
Thanks for this, it'll be quite helpful and I think I recognize some symbols that I've seen on some flyssa.
All the best,
Emanuel
