Indonesian Jambiya
Hi again,
Just received this new jambiya made in Indonesia. I'm really impressed with this cross-culture style: arabian form of the blade and indonesian fittings   And the blade has also pamor just like indonesian kerises The handle remind me of my other dagger

That's fine for me .
Pamor for sure, no pattern that I can see but probably not to be expected in this type of blade . Nice. |

The fittings look fairly recent to me (even given the cracks at the hilt). Not sure that the blade is much older either; I'd guess current production or from the last few decades.
I'm especially wondering about the placement of the rib: in Indonesian blades this is usually found along the center of the blade and less pronounced than in the Arab progenitor. Regards, Kai |
