Hi
Very nice daggers! It's very difficult to say unless you have a specific blade or something on the hilt or the sheat... Kurdish... Of course the one in the middle is from lower Irak (Baghdad-Bassorah) so-called Marsh dagger... Kubur |

A great many of the Kurdish jambiyah from Kurdistan* are wootz! look carefully, the grain structure may be noticeable without etching. Have a look thru the forum search on Kurdish and/or wootz...
*- The Kurdish inhabitants disagree with the current arbitrary borders set up mostly by the UK after ww2 which did not recognise ethnic reality & have resisted rule by these foreigners (Iran,Turkey,Iraq,Syria) ever since. |
