Kindjal help needed

[Rivkin]

Xakozh:

Thank you, but the Blade has maker's stamps that are characteristic to Tiflis, Georgia. The shape is also more of a southern Caucasus, not thin Circassian style, even thorugh I've heard that shapsugian style should be more similar to this one...

P.S. I thought that Qama in Adighe is K'ama ? And I think that the word itself is originally Persian.

Tom Hyle:

Thank you, that's exactly what I thought. However after staying for the last couple of weeks in "post etching" on open air, the blade started to show another two sets of lines on each of the sides.

I'm now thinking if I want to really deeply etch fuller in search for a damascus twist.

Sincerely yours,

K.Rivkin
