Not at all. You've confirmed what I suspected. I seems like peserey handicrafts might be the way to go. I'll also check out Osman and think about it.

A.alnakkas' post is really intriguing to me. Especially the part about commissioning swords in Doha. That's where I used to live (and might again someday, but it doesn't look like it at the moment). I agree about the swords for celebration. They are everywhere and not at all what I am looking for. Do you have a lead for me? I I would be so grateful. When I was in Doha I tried to find some leads and only one looked promising but it never worked out - mainly because I couldn't ever find opening hours (and I went a few different times at different times/days to see). It was a place just south in Al Wakrah.

Many of them use social media. Instagram has multiple accounts. Check:

Farres Ahmed Bader I believe still takes projects. So do various other makers in Bahrain such as Shakir alSayigh will be able to help out. Make the design, provide the blade if you want, they can make anything.

They can even provide blades, including high quality antiques. They wont be cheap.
