Ariel,
An interesting story and analogy indeed. Here is another one of those "giant" Khybers... but even longer, 56" overall with 47" blade! There may be more than one giant in Afghanistan, or these long Khybers may be made to be used as swords
As Fernando noticed earlier, Navajas are well known to be made in over-sized proportions, as many other types in various locales, predominantly for exhibitions purposes. Another photo below shows a modern 'giant' dagger made in Pakistan.
