Kurdish Jambiya
My first Kurdish dagger, which I am very pleased with. I think it has an exceptionally good blade. I purchased it from Gavin at SwordsAntiqueWeapons and am happy to recommend him to others. Very easy to do business with.

Hi Harry,
Very nice Kurdish dagger! I love Kurdish daggers. By the way, I wonder why collectors talk about Kurdish daggers as a whole. I can see some differences between the so-called Kurdish daggers from Turkey, Syria, Irak and Iran... Plus even in Irak, the so-called Kurdish daggers from Bagdad are very different. There are also some so-called Kurdish daggers that I suspect to be produced in the Balkans... Some members share these thoughts with me or am I completely crazy??  Kubur |

They seem very similar to me also. I would not be surprised to learn that their design was influenced by whichever came first. I would lump the "Basra dagger" in with that group also. Cheers! Harry |
