Really, the only two complaints I have are with the handle. This piece cuts well despite my inexperience with cutting (and doubly so for something this short). Is a forty dollar sword really a forty dollar sword if you have to pay to complete it? Nope. A major selling point is the sharpened edge. The steel seems a bit harder than some of the stories I’ve heard about these bending during tests– no problems there. This eminently practical self-defense weapon has been an iconic blade of the Caucasus hill and mountain peoples for many centuries, as well as having been a common dagger used by the Cossacks.

Though this is the natural focus of the weapon, the wide blade lends itself quite handily to close-in chops and hacks. The form of the Qama / Kindjal lends itself quite handily to thrusting attacks, which can be easily made fatal with such a sharply tapered tip. It would look right at home tucked into the front belt of a Caucasus or Persian tribesman, or in the belt of a Georgian or Russian, ready to be drawn in an instant and to quickly lash out at the foe, tip outstretched. Hailing largely from the Caucasus reason, the Qama is a fighting blade vaguely similar in both size and form to the Roman Gladius. It comes with a scabbard of stitched, robust leather with an integrated belt loop or integrated baldric strap. Unlike other Qama on the market, this one has a slightly elongated grip to make it easier to hammer grip. Two halves of wood are riveted to the thick blade tang to construct the grip, which is finished with two steel cone studs. This Qama / Kindjal has a tempered and sharpened blade of 420 stainless steel.
