If you etch yours be careful you might ruin the inlay work on the blade. Love the brass work on the spine. Choora are not reprofiled khyber knives they are a form pesh or karud and they all seem to have a T shaped spine for strength. Below is a small khyber knife notice it has a wider base near the hilt and the absence of the radiused grind at the choil. Below the small khyber knife is a large choora from the same era.
