Sorry my post wasn't clear enough. I didn’t say that the Kurds were at the origin of these daggers. I was saying that Kurds helped the diffusion of these daggers. I / we don't know if these daggers originate from the East (Iran) or the West (Turkey). Maybe you are right, and Kurds are at the origin of these daggers...

Some rich Kurds...
