I see what Razmak is but could not find sellers? Btw those marks on the horn are natural inclusions maybe from mountain sheep horn?

I do not think that the blade is shortened, as Louie said before. As far as i know khybers come in two sizes. The smaller ones with big pommels and the longer ones with small pommels. In other words, observing thoose knifes I came to a conclusion that the shorter will be the blade the more pronounced would be the pommel. Am I right?

I do not think it is altered ; Khyber knives come in all sizes within groups small, medium and the very large ones.

Small ones are known as choora.

This one is not a choora or pesh due to wide blade profile. Pesh and choora have a narrow tapered profile this blade has belly to it for slashing a nice mix of both styles of weapons.

Yes, sure. Thatone is a kyber, I know the difference. and it is certainly not a mix. It is a distinctive type of two predominantly types of khyber knife. The longer ones come with small pommel and the smaller khybers (precisely thatone) has a wide pommel.

This is the knife from post 1. It has a 12-inch blade and is 16-inches in OAL.

This is an oversized chorra from the Oriental Arms site. It has a 16 inch blade, with a T-spine, but is much more of a piercing weapon.
