Afghan Knives: Choora and Pesh Kabz

These two terms get used interchangeably in some sources, but in my reading of 19th century texts the term 'choora', 'charah', or similar, is usually applied to the larger chopping weapon (often known as a 'Khyber knife'). The term Pesh Kabz is Persian and seems usually to be applied to the smaller daggers. However, just like with many historical and ethnographic words, they have been used for different things at different times.
