Hello All!
I have finally got a nice example of a Lebanese Khanjar/Jambiya. It is a good quality knife overall with all the inlays intact and a good quality blade but is semi sharp. But is quite pointy! I am sure it is not a tourist knife it's quality is too good. It has a Arabic inscription on the sheath that I hope someone can translate. The hilt is a dark color horn in the shape of some kind of bird. It is about 10" overall with a 5 1/2 " blade and 4 1/2" handle. I think it is Mid 20th century, would this be a good estimate of age? IAm I correct in saying that these are from southern Lebanon area? All comments are welcom! Mark... Last edited by Aurangzeb; 25th November 2006 at 02:31 AM. |
