A Kurdish Jambiya?

[Ferguson]

Elegant in it's simplicity. A Kurdish (?) jambiya. Monosteel blade, horn hilt, leather over wood scabbard. The chape on the scabbard is interesting to me. It seems to be made from the copper jacket of a bullet that has been fired. You can see the rifling marks all around.

On the money friend. Have you tried etching the blade?

Yes, monosteel. Through hardened.
