I was sarting to think that,so I have looked again with my jewellers loop and the blade is forged from a reserve of metal rectangular in section with no sign of grinding.After the perusal of a few publications there is the distinct possiblity that it is Afghan/Indian where the metal pieces either side and riveted through the blade is a common form of construction and may help explain the deviation from a more classic or conventional form and also why I could afford it.Tim
