On cleaning ~ You may have seen my notes on cleaning done at the makers using a strange berry and by burnishing...at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpost.php?p=129468&postcount=26 The locals just use a brass brush which sounds vicious but brass(often with a splash of water) is good as it only removes the silver oxide and polishes well. Toothpaste is good. In fact the daily wearing of this badge of office is often enough to keep it clean. Silvo polish is also excellent.

I believe that this is a classic design from Sur.

Greetings Ibrahiim,

If you are looking for something different to try on silver (that's very mild), then rub with newspaper (the type that turns your fingers black with print).
Unlike cream or liquid polishes it won't soak into the recesses and leave a chalky residue.

Thanks, I'm glad you like my Khanjar.

Best
Gene
