PESH KABZ DAGGER FOR COMMENT

I was looking at that too, Rob. Also seen on some Greek knives. Curious little feature -- perhaps an Ottoman influence.

Another oddity is the curve in the blade towards the tip. Choora approach the tip in a more or less straight line, but this one has quite a curve to the edge.

Interesting discussion piece, Lew. The knife is older than would appear from looking at the blade.

Ian.

I found that choora photo on the net. It seems precisely alike. Is that the same dagger or another of the same type?
