Usually only the front side has the protruding rivets, while the back has them flatternd flush with the surface of the hilt (if it weren't like this the protruding rivets would hurt the wearer).

I also notice the fullers are not straight, proof of very poor workmanship.

Moreover, the overall condition of the kindjal is very, very poor and I don't think it's worth the effort to be restored.
