Just re-found examples sold as medieval eating knives
 Sold blunt and undecorated, I'm guessing they are actually made in Pakistan "in the style of" real khodmi. They also used to sell a wood grip one too, guess they ran out. Caveatr Emptor, as usual. |

I have also a couple of those. What I found interesting is that looking closely they are made from old files, and I also read somewhere that old European discarded tools were exported to Africa because of the steel quality.

 By my both examples you can't see that they are worked from files and I doubt it will be like this, one has had a very cratched blade which I've polished out without great problems.Regards, Detlef |
