Mystery Knife-HELP!
Hello All!
I bought this knife off Artzi. He identified that it might be Medditeranean(?). It is relatvely small but is good quality. It has 1937 scribbed into the blade. I hope that the belt hanging device will give some clue as too where it is from. All comments are welcome! Mark... |

Hello Mark,
The pendants looks like Touareg - or at least Berber - jewellery, so Mediterranean is possible. The blade looks very odd though. The scales of the grip have a one-sided rivet, and what with the brass guard and ferrule, the whole looks like some modern Indian daggers seen on ebay once in a while  . I will post some pics tomorrow if I find them.Regards, Emanuel |

It looks like it could be North African but the knife itself seems to have been reshaped/recycled from a European chefs knife?
