New dagger!

Split blades do exist, although this is the first time I've seen one on a dagger, usually I've seen them on swords. Swords of this type are assumed to be copies of Dhu-l-Faqqar, the sword of the prophet Muhammad, which was later used by his cousin Ali ibn Abi-Taaleb. The swords of this type I have seen are usually very ornate, I doubt they were ever meant for use in combat.

Hi All!

Today I just got the Koummya and as it turns out it is not a tourist dagger it is a good quality dagger of modern make with a copper sheath plated with good quality silver and the blade is very well forged and sharp!

Mark...

P.S.-The sheath and hilt have coral put on them. Are these kind of hilts and sheaths attributed to a specific region?
