I've had very similar thoughts!

Genoui is just a koummya with a straight blade.
Yours is a Khodmi.

Can I assume that this is as well a Khodmi from Iflissen similar to the one the thread started?

Last picture show it together with a Bou saidi.

Thank you in advance,

Detlef,

The blade reminds me very much of a 19th C. Italian "vendetta dagger." Perhaps a copy of an Italian blade in Magrib fittings.

Hi Ian,
Yes, the style is very similar like Kronckew mentioned in up already. But the blade engraving look very crude for a European blade.

Yes, and the fullers are not quite right also. I think it is a locally made imitation of an Italian dagger. Ian
