Mark...

That's exactly what I meant! We know these daggers under a generic name "Khodmi", but I wonder whether they call it differently in different N. African countries and whether there are some specific features distinguishing one locality from another. After all, Indonesian/Philippino weapons can be pinpointed to a particular island, tribe and often village. Why not N. African?
Any ideas?

It remids me slightly of a flyssa.

I think it may be some form of a kard .
It's so beat up though that it's hard to tell .
How about you take some better pictures Mark .

Hello Everyone !

As requested attached are some pix of my Tunisian dagger. The blade shows some flyssa-like influence and the the hilt exhibits Yataghan/Ottoman influence. As always, any comments are most welcome !

Sincerely,

Mark....
