Interesting Lew,

I still think a point of balance is moot with form and function of application for a Jambiya of this style and size. Everything has a balance point but what by any nature is the point of a balance point in these.
I can understand a throwing knife requiring a certain point of balance just as I can a sword or rapier but I can't quite grasp the need of a point of balance in these knives.
Can someone please explain

Gav
