Kurdish jambiya : disappointment, but learning opportunity

For a long time like you my budget always meant gambling at what appeared to be the bargain basement. Some you loose but you can win handsomely especially in what at the time is the current unpopular areas. Keep it up, I did very well in my last piece post here. Research in other areas pays off.

I think you did OK for the money, old decent blade and scabbard with a tarted up soft wood hilt.
I would check the blade out in a small area for wootz or other patterned steel. Given current events in the area, we might not be seeing much from there in the future.
