Hello Hurthuma, I had one of those recently! These seem to be newly made swords, coming out of yemen. I 'dissected' my piece and sacrificed it to learn more about it. Unfortunately, it wasnt well made. The tang, although peened, is very thin, a rat-tail type construction. The blade also seems to be very brittle, and chips easily.
