Nice one, Lew. This knife comes from Algeria.

Here's mine. It's quite sharp and has a thick back. The wooden handle is also decorated with wire wrap. In addition to that, some twisted copper thread has been applied to the handle. It runs lengthwise to the top of the handle.

There's also an inscription on the base of the blade. Don't know what it means, though.
