The art of dagger making has over 700 years of history in Morocco.

Lhoucine represents the Azlag Dagger Cooperative, the only group of its kind following this tradition and derives its handcrafted designs from Roman, Jewish, Berber, and Islamic influences.

The artisans in the ancient Berber village of Azlag, which means “come together”, support over 100 families and employ nearly 100 men.

The daggers are made from various metals, woods, and animal bones and skins, using plants for the natural dyeing of the handles.
