Jambiya for opinion

This one just ended on e-bay.

The scabbard and the handle look OK to me.
But I am curious about the blade: it has some strange configuration that gives an impression that it was made of two thin metal and perhaps plated sheets joined at the edges. There is no feeling of "sharpness", the midrib and the edges look kind of "rounded". I asked the seller to give a bit more info, but never got a reply.
Am I being paranoid?
