A question to Dom:
You mention name Malsa and blade type Beyd.
In the Saudi book on Islamic swords and armour, they mention several names for this type of Jambiya (Muqafalla, Mufarragha, Dharia, Rashaq,Malsa) and several blade types (Muayyar,Beyd, Nafihi,Shbeyl) without any further explanations.
How did they differ from each other?
Can you elaborate?
