Hello All!

Recently I was looking through "Islamic Weapons Maghrib to Moghul" and something cought my eye. I was reading about the knife knwon as a Bou Saadi also known as Khodmi. And he attributes this weapon to the Bou Saada region of southern Algeria... One small problem with that, Bou Saada is Not in southern Algeria its in northern Algeria and it's not a region its a town in Mostaganem Province. But not all is wrong here I did find a source saying that Bou Saada is the home of the Bou Saadi knife. I hope I am not restating something that is alredy common knoledge. Opinions are welcome!
