Two Moroccan Daggers... one new, one less so

Though not at all old, it is good to see nicely made products being made in these regions and observing traditional forms. They are distinctly ethnographic and representative of thier regions.
Of course there are many instances where tribal knives and edged weapons are still an item of both utility and fashion in many ethnographically significant areas.

Nobody wears these in Morocco. There are huge piles of these in various shops in the the medinas. they even leave some out in the sun to get that aged look.
