Indian knife

[Emanuel]

Here is an interesting Indian dagger (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150077622513&rd=1&rd=1)
It looks a lot like an afghan/khyber knife, but it lacks the T-spine. It actually looks like a huge butcher knife. Any comments on this?

I saw it for sale (or one like it) and needed better photos to tell. I don't think it is Afghani.

Emanuel,

I give it a shot after looking in "Stone". I think it is a Bichaq. A dagger used throughout Turkey and Armenia. Nice find ;)

Hello Henk,
Thanks for the answer :) I'll put this down as some sort of bichaq then. I didn't get it though, I was merely curious about it.
All the best to you and yours,
Emanuel
