Now I know why its previous owner (who probably even wore it) wrote "ya Mahboba" on it which means: O beloved.
Great blade, great hilt material

Hey Archer,
After they install the blade on the jambiya, they blow torch it or something. Not for long just a few quick passes probably to give the hilt a smooth surface. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBlOpDL2Hew Its in Arabic, but you can see the full process and he even talks about blade types! |

Burning process
Alright, a movie even in a different language is still worth a thousand words.
