Kronckew, circumcision? ouch. I would hope not.

You're very welcome Mav. I haven't seen many of these, but as noted the examples I have seen were as most Mahdiyya period weapons, thuluth covered on the blades and with other dagger forms. Information on them is pretty scant beyond what I have noted, so it would be great if any of those reading out there might have other examples or information as well.

Kronckew....I second that ouch!!!

All best regards,
Jim
