Kaskaras from The Battle of Omdurman ?

Hi Emanuel

Good point...my kaskara blades are a bit flexible, but not so much as the ones in the videos I think, and mine are thicker. Maybe this means the video kaskaras are of recent manufacture ? don't know...

(I have seen some kaskaras with what seem to be thin sheet steel blades, often completely acid etched with Arabic or pseudo-Arabic).
