Lebanese Khanjar-need Arabic translation

Hi,

Nice khanjar, its very nice to see how similar all the khanjars of the entire islamic world are, and how they all stem from the same design, that of the arab jambiya. I think the word on that scabbard is 'Hazeen', which would mean sad, strange?

Hello S. Al-Anizi!

Thank You for the translation. What a strange thing to inscribe on a sheath.

Could "Hazeen" be used as a name? I will look into this to fill my own curiosity!

I agree it is very interesting to see how all the diffrent khanjars from all over the Islamic world have some features in common but yet have there own unique flavor too. Thanks again!
