Show us your khodmi/Bou Saadi knife

Others are what I call "saharian mouss" (knife, just another word as khodmi, just to make difference in my book, nothing official), that are usually from a widest area in the desert, even used by some tourag or close to people (I mean some people from those area, tamaghasset, Djanet, Ouargla, Hoggar, but not necessary from touareg comunities, that usally have their own style telek/gozma knives).

Well, every time I tell myself "stop sharing what is supposed to be in your book", I remember that is still A LOT of secrets I've discovered (and still every day.. really) on those blades, as the meaning of some engravings, and for that mates, you will have to wait a little...haha

PS.. dear Detlef, could I ask you later for some pictures of yours for my book? I would be honored to display them in it !

Peace my friends, and thanks again for the help a lot of you gave me !!
