Exactly the same point on my Indian Bronze hilted Jambiya. I've never had one of the long bladed ones that Stu's got a great selection of, but if memory serves most 'normally sized' Jambiya have seemed balanced to the hilt to me over the years.
Which is why I was curious if a light pure Ally hilt pushed the POB onto the blade.
Of course if its a mixed metal from various sources it might be heavier.
