What is this knife called?

[doctor_arcane]

A curving persian-like blade. The butt end of the handle is curved outwards (sort of like a gun handle) to make striking with it easier.

-arcane

doctor_arcane -
Maybe you could be more specific as to size and handle material and how old is the knife?

 

[doctor_arcane]

Yes, that is what I meant. I think it's called a khandjar. Do you know of any other production blades in this style?

Folders with a curved handle like the Cold Steel Scimitar?

Traditional Spanish navajas have a similar shape which obviously shows Arabic influence.

These are navajas by Cuchillería Expósito. The ones on the top are Albacate style and the ones below are Bandolero style.

Ancient Arms make lots of Khandjars. If you are looking for the traditional Arabic knives then this would be a good place to start.
