			When I first looked at the pictures I thought to myself,"Gee I have similar marks near the hilt of the Jambiya I own". Then I took a look at my knife and realized that although the marks were in the same relative position,they were not consistent as on your knife. 
		
		
		
			Is there a particular reason for having them there? The rest of the blade is devoid of these crosshatched lines. I was under the impression that they were there to aid in the adhesion of the gold inlay. Is that possible? I'm enclosing a closeup of the area in question. BTW looks like you got a great deal on a nice knife! Cheers Ray  |
