No doubt: very, very new...
But in the same vein: I always had doubts about the real use of the unfolding katars(you know, when you press the bars together, the blade opens up in 3 segments). The only solid blade (central) becomes totally hidden and useless.
I suspect all of them started as 19th century bazaar pieces for the dumb "farangi".
