LOL! Well I guess if I use the term knife...……..in our everyday parlance in Texas it could refer to a paring knife in the kitchen, or a Bowie knife of larger proportion irrespectively. So the term khodmi could be equally used to refer to any knife in Algerian or broader Saharan regions regardless of tribal affiliation.
Point well taken.
