excellent craftmanship on this piece. Can you post close ups of the hilt? perhaps one from the top of the hilt to see if its rhino or not. The blade looks pretty good have you checked if its 2 layer type or a forged one?

Hi Lofty,
The blade looks to be forged. I will take some more pics of the hilt tomorrow when daylight returns.

Hi Stu
excellent jambiya , especially with his belt, accessories
and the stamp of the master craftsman, which authenticates the origin

if one day you look for a shelter for it, I should ... surely find a place

thanks to have given us the pleasure to share with us

all the best

Hi Lofty,
Here are close ups as requested. Hope someone can identify if its rhino or not.

Its a nice hilt but I dont think its Rhino. I think there is a chance that the hilt is more recent than the scabbard and blade though but thats ok since its a common practice.

I'm not sure... I would like to see a close-up of the very end. It has a Rhino look to me.

Gavin Nugent · 17th June 2012, 07:27 AM

No Rhino there Stu but a very fine piece, congrats.

Thanks Lofty, Monti and Gav. Must admit I did not think it was rhino, but then I do not have the experience to know by looking at it.
Happy anyway!
