Jambiya Blade Construction

Gonzalo G · 29th August 2009, 06:48 AM

I don´t know if I understood well. Does it means that the yemeni two-pieced blade jambyyas have the rib arisen from the inside, meanwhile the one piece blades have the ribs forged from the surface? Does anybody knows what kind of tools are used to do the last operation? Is it a female swage kit with the negative form of the rib to forge it over hot metal, or it is made in other way? The rib is forged over a straight blade, latter curved, or is forged over the already curved blade? Thank you in advance for the information you can give to me on this matter.
Regards

Gonzalo
