Alex, The same pattern with a slight asymmetry of the stars seems to have been used on Gavs' example, maybe it has some sort of religious meaning, or the same craftsman was involved.

Gav, Thank you for the info.

Steve,
When I saw Gav's link I also thought it's the same workshop, but in fact it's also the same Kinjal. By some mysterious way it made it's way to my collection. I am glad it did - it's a marvelous blade indeed.
