Hi Aurangzeb,

If you could post some better photos of that Gaucho's knife, including its blade length and details of any brand or logo, I may be able to dig up something on it.

Cheers
Chris

Dear forum members,
Maybe i should reply regarding this dagger. It is not a matter of judgment, and i certainly do not think that state something as a "tunisian" gives more value. It is simple where it was bought from (in the 70s ) by the guy that gave it to me!
By the way, i am currently overseas and i didnt manage to send the package yet! Please be a little patient!
Regards to all!

Hello Eftihis!

That clears that up, I wish all the daggers I bought had that kind of certanty from where thaey came from!

I have a great deal of patience Eftihis, thankfully you told me your overseas there where some sellers I bought from who never told me anything. Thanks for informing me of where the Tunisian dagger came from and that you are overseas.

Mark...

P.S.-Is the Tunisian dagger 19th. century?

That's exactly what I meant! We know these daggers under a generic name "Khodmi", but I wonder whether they call it differently in different N. African countries and whether there are some specific features distinguishing one locality from another. After all, Indonesian/Philippino weapons can be pinpointed to a particular island, tribe and often village. Why not N. African?
Any ideas?
