History Of Georgian Daggers:
In the past, they attempted to divide Georgia so as to get a geostrategic advantage in the South Caucasus region. So conflicts, fighting and War was a part of everyday life for ordinary Georgians. That is why an inseparable part of the national costume Chokha is a dagger.
A dagger was not only a weapon for war. It was used in everyday life as well, mostly, for self-defence. Originally they were made from horn and decorated with gold or silver. Earliest Khanjali in Georgia, dates back as far as 3rd century B.C. Its small size, reminiscent of hotsell the Roman gladius, is owed mainly to the fact that softness of copper and bronze it was originally made of did not allow for longer blades. Later, with introduction of steel, it became longer and narrower, However, its older version, called satevari, refused to give any ground, managing to survive three millennia and remain as a sidearm.
Local Georgian tribes were masters of blacksmithing and the country was always a hub for weaponry. It maintained this status throughout the18th and 19th centuries. Along with India, Georgia used to be a prominent producer of the highest quality steel.
In the 19th century, a family called Elizarashvili lived in Tbilisi. Giorgi Elizarashvili inherited the family secrets of blacksmithing from his ancestors and passed on his knowledge and skills to his sons – Efrem and Karaman. The family maintained strictly the secrets of processing steel, but in 1828 Karaman shared the secret with the Russians
