Tannic acid turns rust a nice black and stabilises the rust.

Here is the classic Tunisian dagger from 1900 1920ties
But it wont be fair to call it touristy, i prefer to say colonial souvenir.... These daggers are very sharp and very pointy, not toys. It will be cool if Ibraheem or others can translate the inscription... |
