Kurdish jambiya : disappointment, but learning opportunity

Thank you Kubur, this is indeed the most logical explanation!

Francantolin, indeed I suspect the blade to be older, and that it was harshly polished and reused.

I realise that I sound stingy ^^' but since I don't have a lot to invest in my collection I always buy at bargain prices, unless it's something I really, really, want. I guess having seen a lot of high quality kurdish jambiyas here raised my expectations unreasonably. Anyway, regardless of the value of the knife, I learned something new, which is always nice!
