Balkan (?) Jambiyah
5 Attachment(s)
picked this one up today, appears to be a wood grip. nicely ridged (both sides) very sharp steel blade.
37 cm. LOA, 22 cm. blade. no scabbard. peened tang. |
I always think of these ones as Kurdish...
|
Ohhh yes it is Kurdish (from Irak)
but the hilt seems to be in wood instead of the traditionnal black horn... |
I have seen wood hilts on these Kurdish jambiya before. Check the blade to see if it is wootz by etching.
|
my 1st comment to the vendor was that i thought it looked kurdish rather than balkan. my second thought was that i must etch it to see if it is wootz. which i did not comment to the vendor.there's a good chance it might be. :)
|
it just arrived. nice wood grip. weighs 210 grams.
haven't etched it yet. no need. the wootz pattern is fairly obvious. :D i'm a happy bunny! now, have to find/make a scabbard for her. |
