Kindjals with curved blade are called Bebut in Russia, There was even a military variant of such a weapon with Bebut as its official name.
I have no idea what is the meaning of this name. Anybody knows? |

Hello everybody,
I don't know too what bebut-beibut means ( I thought just maybe dagger or knife but it isn't...) Just received the dagger, really nice !! turkish-kurdish khanjar as Kubur said, I cleaned the scabbard, nice surprise, it's silver mounted. The blade is interesting and a bit strange: it's an heavy blade and on one side only, the fuller seems to have been ''blued''. |

I used first sandpaper 400 then 600, 1000 and finish with 1500.
Still remains scratches/stripes... A damas blade ? Or just a rough old sharpening ? I hesitate to etch the blade gently ( with lemon/ vinegar ?... ) Advices welcomed !! |

In my experience many of these Kurdish Jambiyas have a watered blade. I would give it a go, you can always polish it out if you're not happy. A lot of etchants seem to leave a brown/yellow tinge. I have found that if, after stabilising, black boot polish is smeared on the blade and then vigorously polished off it leaves a pleasant dark hue to the blade.
Best wishes Richard |

You can get it on Amazon, but all companies I tried to contact were ready to ship it only to a commercial address. A friend of mine, who is a VP of a metalworking company, buys it for me. If you have connections with chemistry lab, metal working company, professional blademaker etc, you are in luck. No yucky brown stuff of ferric chloride! |
