Aluminium hilted jambiya

Brings to mind the hilts made from scavened metal from batteries and tooth paste tubes.

Probably made from old air craft aluminium parts

Good idea.
How does the Ally handle affect the balance?

By design, size and function do Jambiya have a 'balance' point?
Are they considered to have one? If so, where is it expected to be measured from and on what plane?

considering jambiya come with a lot of different hilt materials I would say the balance point is moot. Some hilts are heavier than others and the blades are quite light in weight so most would be handle heavy.

I stand corrected I just went into the room and checked 4 of my Yemen jambiya all 4 balanced just behind the blade and they all had different hilt materials.
