inscription translation please
 

on wootz khyber knife
thanks galvano

At last, an easy script I can read :)

The first picture:

Amel-i Osman: produced by Osman

The second one:

Tevekkeltu alallah: I place all of my trust and reliance in God

hi
 

Thank you very much, Zifir, for this translation.
Is this writing it modern?
Which is the country of origin of this writing.
The blade is out of wootz.
It is thus not recent.
thanks
galvano

you are wellcome. Since I am not an expert in script styles, my answer will be limited.

The script in the first picture reminded me ta'lik script. The second one, on the other hand, seemed to me as just plain and crude hand writing and could have been added later. (probably that's why I could easily read it ;) )

As far as I know it's difficult to pinpoint regional/national origin of the first script (ta'lik) since these styles were commonly used in the wider geography of islamic world. I am not much help in this, sorry.

back on first picture

it's not more "Omar Osman" what it's writing ? than "produced by Osman" ? :o

Salut Dom,

Zifir is correct, it's 'ain-mim-lam 'aml-- this is the word most typically
used in Arabic, Persian and Ottoman inscriptions to indicate the maker, followed by a proper name. Often there is a nisba as well.
