On top of that, Poland has an insane number of gorgeous women. Polish men are not lazy: they understandably try to stay home as much as possible. Can’t blame them)))

I was joking too.
More seriously for the koummiya I think your harsh stament is based on the fact that you saw only ugly koummiya from the 1900ties or later.
If you had in hand a nice koummiya from the mid 19th c you will change your mind.
By the way i never saw a koummiya before 1800...
The blades come like that it's not that they are sharpened or not. Ariel comparison with some Persian khanjar is very true.

I've always been partial to Blonde ladies...my fatal attraction.

The only koumiyyah I've owned had a decent thick blade but the grip was atrocious as was the overall balance - It was nail ndotted 1936 Algeria. Took an instant dislike to it.

Came across another example, I really like them!

Look like Libyan Bou Saadi Khodmi knives. They are cool, still made and used. Love mine.

Hello Wayne,

They are bigger and longer as a Bou Saadi and when I am not mistaken coming from Morocco.
