Khanjar = blade breaker?

[rmadge]

I've heard that the triple-bladed Khanjar is not only a parrying dagger, but has also been used to break an opponents blades. I don't see how this dagger is strong enough to break a blade, even a thinner Persian one.

Does anybody know if they were used for this purpose? And on a lighter note, wouldn't it be awfully expensive to practice that?
