Genoui is just a koummya with a straight blade.
Yours is a Khodmi. |

Can I assume that this is as well a Khodmi from Iflissen similar to the one the thread started?
Last picture show it together with a Bou saidi. Thank you in advance, Detlef |

Detlef,
The blade reminds me very much of a 19th C. Italian "vendetta dagger." Perhaps a copy of an Italian blade in Magrib fittings. Ian. |

Yes, the style is very similar like Kronckew mentioned in up already. But the blade engraving look very crude for a European blade. Regards, Detlef |

The khodmi almost universally have the wire wrapping on the grip, unlike the 'vendetta style ones. They may be Bou Saadi made tho. the spines on khodmi often have a tiny step and notch on the spine at the tip. On some this is worn newer ones seen not to have them. Some khodmi with wood/horn gips have been sold in Europe as 'Medieval eating knives'
