Salaams A.alnakkas ~ I did not say it was a fake I said there were many fakes going through the UAE souks from India and I add actually knocked up in backyards in Sharjah.. (As a cautionary note the UAE Souks are awash with Indian work and it is not unusual to find workshop production quantities of such fake daggers filtering in through there) I hope this is clear?

Salam,

Alright. The problem is that you spoke about fakes, but added a picture of an authentic modern jambiya that has no connection to the topic. I got confused obviously :-)

Salaams ~ I put the confusion down to being on the broader part of the planet so that we spin more slowly than the rest Ibrahiim
