Persian Jambiya

sorry, but i cant imagine how this can be used to cut or stab.the mid blade with 3 tips make it especially functionless. you would have to apply a force equal to a truck to be able to drive it into flesh and bone,if it doesnt get already deformed and break while you try to do that. Ergonomically useless as a tool. else than this, the decoration on the scabbard is too simple for even a real Kajar period sample. Yes,hand chiselled but very simple and ordinary. Real old 5 finger daggers have hard worked nice samples of iron chiselling art on them. I have one like I mention. I will post its pictures when I find time, but I dont like even mine so much. it doesnt have 3 blades with 5 total tips, but 5 real blades going seperate from each other for many inches, but still I dont feel it is a real weapon. maybe just a fantasy try in past's weaponry fashion.
regards
