description
The Quadarra has a double-edged, straight blade. The blade runs the same width from the handle to the location and becomes narrower shortly before the location. It has a broad central ridge or a one to two-lane hollow grind. Decorative motifs in the form of plants are usually attached to the blade. There are versions of the Qaddara in which the place is slightly curved. The handle is made of horn, wood, ivory or metal. It has the same shape as the Russian Kindjal . The Qadarra is used by ethnic groups in Persia.
