 Early 20th century Greek knife for translation 4 Attachment(s) I acquired this small Greek knife recently and was hoping to have the motto engraved on the blade translated. I took a couple pictures of the motto but neither of them are that stellar. I would also like to know if this particular form can be attributed to a particular region. This blade shape is commonly seen on the mid 20th century knives from Crete, but I can't recall seeing this type of blade on a kindjal-esque hilt. |

 Ηello, the text is quite funny "i will buy you a small knife so that my passion will be satisfied" Somewhere from mainland Greece. |

 Thank you for the translation. It's interesting that this knife has a nice, light hearted motto on it. If I recall there was another Greek knife or dagger posted a while ago with a motto along the lines of "draw me and watch your enemies tremble", but I could be wrong. Do you believe that this knife was meant for genuine use or was it made as a trinket for tourists? |

 Νο, it is genuine, that means not made for tourists. I forgot to say there is an exclamation at the end, "Ah, Vah!" |
