Khyber Knife Variant

Hi Ariel,
I don't think it is a copy as such more an older, not much maybe, knife and scabbard that has been altered to conform to European taste. The Oriental Arms link has a good description of the process involved with these variants. Many thanks for your interest.
My Regards,
Norman.

Its not a copy. Just styled after an afghan military short sword that was popular from the 19th and into the mid 20th century.I think that's what Ariel meant. Of course this styling is in the hilt and the scabbard hardware. The blade us distinctly Khyber.
