Riyadh's old Bazaar

S.Al-Anizi · 20th January 2007, 01:36 PM

A faithfull reproduction of a Clauberg blade. During my stay, I had asked every old shopkeeper, and Nasir Al-Sufayyan about these blade. They seem to call them 'Abu Askiri', referring to the knight signature on the forte, and describe them as 'Anglais'. They hold these blades in high esteem, and regard them as the finest non-wootz blades (biyaadh).

closeup of the forte, notice the marks

the gold pieces on the scabbard are pure gold.
