Show us your khodmi/Bou Saadi knife
These small Algerian knives have a great variation in handle style and material, material of the wire binding down from the handle and blade markings.
I own three of these knives, two with wooden handles and one with a bone handle, one has a pure brass wire winding, one with a combined iron/copper wire binding and the one with the bone handle has a pure iron binding. They are between 26,7 and 24 cm long. I hope to see your examples in this thread as well!

Thank you very much for showing your nice examples!
Your long one isn't a khodmi, it belongs to the long daggers from Bou Saada without the wire binding in down from the handle, see my examples from this type. Regards, Detlef |
