Salam,

See attached bedioun knife photos. The vendor said he purchased it from a wondering bedo somewhere near RAK (Ras Al Khamiah) more than 20 years ago. The overall length of the knife is 250mm from tip to hilt. It appears that the handle starts in a brass, then wood, with the hilt made from aluminium, its interesting to note the hilts “V” shaping.
Would be interested in the forums opinions on origin, use, age and the “V” shaping of the hilt, etc
