Hi chregu
- why Kurdish ?
because our background or expertise, give us that answer,
with a margin of 0% error ... at least, as far as this dagger it's concerned

- why jambyia and not Khanjar ?
because our background or expertise, give us that answer,
with a margin of 0% error ... at least, as far as this dagger it's concerned
in fact, the shape of the dagger, it's too much characteristic,
no doubt about our affirmation
the appellation could change from country to country, e.g.
with roughly the same form, an A.E.U. dagger will be a khangar, when in Yemen, we will talk about "jambiya"

- what means "johar" ? it's a Farsi word for what Indian call "wootz"
wootz - definition of wootz , meaning of wootz
a famous type of steel from India , much admired for making sword blades.

the secret to be able to recognize, and not to be lost, with all those subtleties;
- read a lot
- watch a lot of pictures
and, start a collection
also to use the function "Search" in our forum

best regards
