Hi Ariel,

I don't think you're being paranoid about there being issues with this knife. On the other hand, I think the blade is a single piece of metal, but not sharp.

That jambiya is of more recent manufacture 1950-60 it is a Wahabite style dagger and most of these types of jambiya are strictly for adornment. The blades are usually made of sheet steel. If you are the winning bidder you did well!

To add to this, I think that older Wahabi jambiya had middle ridge down the center. Also, this is way too shiny.
