Hello,
As far as I know, this word does not exist in any of the languages of the people who use the knife associated with it, and it is most likely a misnomer derived from the word "Kard" (meaning knife).
However, I have encountered this term on several occasions associated with a straight Pesh-kabz.
Is it a "correct" or better said accepted term for differentiating between a recurved Pesh-kabz and a straight one?
Is it more than simply a straight Pesh-kabz?
Regards,
Marius
