Show us your khodmi/Bou Saadi knife

These small Algerian knives have a great variation in handle style and material, material of the wire binding down from the handle and blade markings.
I own three of these knives, two with wooden handles and one with a bone handle, one has a pure brass wire winding, one with a combined iron/copper wire binding and the one with the bone handle has a pure iron binding.
They are between 26,7 and 24 cm long.
I hope to see your examples in this thread as well! ;)

Nice khodmis Detlef. I only have a couple, the larger of which is 44.5 cm long.

Thank you very much for showing your nice examples!

Your long one isn't a khodmi, it belongs to the long daggers from Bou Saada without the wire binding in down from the handle, see my examples from this type.

Regards,
Detlef
