Just a reminder of information found elsewhere on this site. The word khodmi is simply Algerian for "knife." Bou saadi means "coming from Bou Saada" in Algeria.

Khodmi bou saadi = knife from Bou Saada. It says nothing about the blade (curved or straight) or hilt style. Of course there are broad patterns of each that define the cultural norms for the area, but the terms offered are very broad and focus on where the item was likely made.
