Hi again Charles,
I was also referring to the blade construction. Lots of koummiya and genoui have the exact same blade with shallow fullers at the ricasso and back edge, but curved. I'll post some fairly illustrative examples from Oriental-Arms' archive.
Some Bou-Saadi knives also have a very shallow fuller along the edge, but they're built differently and the blade profiles are different than this knife.
