To Bandook
Hi Rajesh, Thanks for posting this. Your dagger belongs to the same extended family of village-made small daggers from Southern Syria, Southern Lebanon and Israel. They all appear around 1900 and I have no idea why. Have there been similar ones before which did not survive? Anyway, there's another very similar one on DaveA's site Atkinson's Swords. Look under type Jabmiya (didn't want to copy photo from his site). Best regards, Eytan
