SALAAMS ALL~ Omani Silver Khanjar Buckle (Ibzim)

Take 2 cuttle fish bones and carve the pattern into each face. Bind both tight with wire. Leave a tiny slot to pour in the molten silver. Re-finish after cooling. Richardson and Dorr page 227 refers.

Cuttlebone is ideal being rigid, heatproof and easy to file carve and impress patterns.

Regards Ibrahiim..
