Jambiya question

I can not give much more to this thread, however Steven Gracie in his book JAMBIYA makes a small mention of the "spot welded" blades, without any concise comment as to their wide spread use.
Another consideration here could be that the knife itself is not primarialy intended as a weapon, as most seem to be worn as adornment/status statement, and the blade itself not regarded as the primary function.....just a thought!
