A small Jambiya for comments, and a big one to.

Hi Drabant1701,

Your jambiyas seem to have some age to them with the quality in craftsmanship silverwork and blade. As for the stones, I have seen plastic (bead-like) on the more recent pieces, or as new replacements of lost older ones, but also carnelian stone which I believe is at the end of the chape in the last photo.

Thank you everyone for your response. Thank you for the link Kubur, it was very informative. The small jambiya is super sharp, nothing one would let a child wear, i supose, not even in times old.
