That's not to say its a bad little sword, its made in the same manner as the full size ones.

I agree with 1970ties probably from Aswan.
I disagree with the "short blades" for tourists, I've seen several short blades on Tabouka and Kaskara and in fact its the opposite they were the real daily life kaskara much more easier to use...
Two examples from Beni Amer and Beja hills, Hadendoa.
