About a Khodme

Hi Manolo:

I think it is a reworked flyssa blade. The blade profile is unlike other khodmi I've seen which are pretty much straight along the spine and they don't come to a needle point like this example. The hilt looks similar to a khodmi with its wire-wrapped segment and square handle with circular designs, but khodmi don't usually have a guard and the handle usually has a hole through it for a cord or leather loop.

Close, but not a typical khodmi.

Ian.
