Khanjar, how Turkish really?
I would appreciate comments on this dagger. Artzi says it “is of Iraqi origin but with strong Turkish influence.” He refers to the steel as “good Sham wootz”, by which I assume he means that it is actually fine grain pattern welded.

Hi Marcus,
For me it's Syrian. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=syrian But the blade is really nice, I wont be surprise if the blade is Persian and the knife Syrian... Syria is in between Turkey and Irak, so Artzi is not completly wrong... Kubur |

From Dr. Manouchehr Moshtagh Khorasani. "Partly based on the accounts of European travellers, other wootz patterns such as sham (striped) pattern, wave pattern, begami pattern, water pattern, woodgrain (mottle) pattern, bidr or qum pattern, rose pattern, and kirk nardeban have been identified in modern publications" http://www.moshtaghkhorasani.com/bio...shamshir-2006/ Quote:
