Hello new member here.
I have recently acquired a Jordanian dagger for quite a decent price. If I am not mistaken, it may be called a shibriya but the blade shape does not match the other shibriya seen on the web. The dagger is very small. It is only about 7 inch in overall length, with a 3 1/2 inch blade. Here is some pictures I have managed to take recently: ![]() ![]() ![]() Note the size of the dagger with a pencil ![]() My question here is: 1) Would this dagger be considered "authentic functional shibriya" or more of a tourist piece? 2) Could someone translate the Arabic inscription on the dagger? To my knowledge the dagger was probably purchased in 1990. The double edge blade is fairly sharp and the polish is pretty decent. Thanks! |
