You'll see them more in the countryside. Awdal and the Awbarre/Dembel are 99% Gadabuursi, so you won't see it around in major towns. You don't need to protect yourself from your kin, it is more likely to be found amongst the geeljire who use it for protection against wild animals.Yo Nidar, I wanna ask why the Samaroon don’t wear Qolxad anymore.

The qolxad was made in 2020 in Laascanood for about $25 if my memory serves me well. I wanted it to be used for practical reasons such as cutting meat, wood and the sorts. As such the metal is of a poorer quality and the leather sheath is less ornate. The handle is what seems to be plastic with brass tips.Would love to see the Somali one
