OK, Lotfi, you asked for it :-)
I just warn you: nothing pretty.... Ladies and gentlemen, you have an honor to see a modern ( ~20 years old) sword of the Negev beduin fabrication! |

Oooh, believe me, I've seen worse... This one is at least an honest attempt to recreate the old Turkish form.

LOL I find it strangely attractive :P
Certainly an interesting example to have. Most modern pieces made in Syria and KSA are too shiney. |

When a girl is told she has an "interesting" face, it is usually not meant as a compliment. And when on top of that she is called "strangely attractive", she is likely to remain a spinster .
I warned you, didn't I? :-) Let's be honest: it is butt-ugly. |

A plastic surgery on the crossguard would make it prettier
