Salaams Frankie... I cant see any eyelash marks on the project blade...Where are they??.. There are as already pointed out 6 pointed stars which are Talismanic and some arabic . I dont see this as a Jewish weapon or made by Jews... It appears to be Yemeni of the Mecca style .

SEE http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14405

Rattling off a translation is not always the done thing... A lot of references carry hidden meanings or are Talismanic in nature making translation something of an avoid if possible situation... These to some people are quite powerful verses... thus some reluctance in translating. All arabic script is by nature Talismanic.
