The answer can be easily found in Stone: khyber knives (Salawar yataghan, churra, churai etc) "... have blades 14-30 in long."
Size doesn't count ( at least here), it is the general outline of the blade.
Mine are 11.5; 15; 17.5; 21; and 22.
And let's not forget the " Karud "-type blade with a peculiar " eared" pommel: afghani (Mahsud) dagger colloquially called Chura, i.e. just "knife"
Same idea, different roles and ethnic variants of pesh Kabz.
