Afghan Khyber knife

[kronckew]

"Salawar Yataghan" may refer to the ones that have a slight 'S' curved spine, like mine below. Even tho the edge is essentially straight. I include another with a short steel grip that looks more yataghany, tho still T-spined. I have read that in spite of that nasty looking point, they were almost entirely used for slashing cuts, according to a British Military Doctor who treated the Brits kille or wounded by them.
