Well said Jim, you managed to sum up my points with a lot more detail than I could have. Whether or not trade blades are present in the flexible sayfs encountered today, there is no doubt where the influence comes from. How the different, new, hilt style came into being is of course another question entirely...

Also very nice photo of the royal sayf Ibrahiim, fascinating to see that hilt style in a sayf!
