Hi Guys
Can someone explain why Omani khanjar and Yemeni jambiya have fake rivets? Rivets go through the hilt but they don't fix the short tang of the blade. I can see 4 explanations 1/ In the past jambia had long tangs going all along the hilt 2/ In the past jambiya had hilts or grips made of two parts 3/ The rivets are just practical, to assure a good position of the hand 4/ A combinaison of two of the three above Any solid clue???
