Syrian Jambiya For Comment

knife7knut · 4th May 2005, 05:30 AM

When I first looked at the pictures I thought to myself,"Gee I have similar marks near the hilt of the Jambiya I own". Then I took a look at my knife and realized that although the marks were in the same relative position,they were not consistent as on your knife.
Is there a particular reason for having them there? The rest of the blade is devoid of these crosshatched lines. I was under the impression that they were there to aid in the adhesion of the gold inlay. Is that possible?
I'm enclosing a closeup of the area in question.
BTW looks like you got a great deal on a nice knife!
Cheers
