Just ended.

The form is unmistakeably Kurdish.
I am a bit confused by the silver embellishments on the handle. Not that I think they might be fake, Heavens forbid: I saw similar on another Jambiya or two. But they look Arabian ( as in Peninsula

) to me.
Recently, another knife was discussed

It also had 3 prongs on the pommel.
Any ideas?
