A personal favourite, Uzbek knife

[DaveA]

A beautiful knife Gavin, thanks for posting. Is the medial ridge a common feature on the pichok? I have not seen one before. I do love the upswept blade.

Here is a pichok from Bukhara in my collection. One of my favorites, but I have too many favorites to single one out!

Dave,

That's a nice knife. I've enjoyed your online collection when looking in to these knives in the past.

Question; Is yours Bukhara or further east in to Uyghur regions?

In answer to your question about the ridge, not something I have seen before but to be honest, I've never looked too hard either.
The other five here all have flat backs. Some have incised lines running the length of the spine but no other notable features.
