Miguel - thanks for the "welcome.
Thanks to all for the information and comments.
The "Persian" influence never occurred to me but would make sense. The birds show up a lot in carvings and carpets too.
After reading some of the older posts in the forum, I debated about what to call them and opted for the"generic", assuming that even if not entirely correct, everyone would know what I was referring to when using the term "Khyber Knife".
Best Regards
Goodie
