English made Jambiya

I have no idea whether the dagger ever made it to the Mideast.

My comment was merely meant to reflect that I didn't see it as being readily accepted within the jambiyyah culture, despite its seeming quality, as a substitute for the usual and customary article.

I'd be curious to read of its history and travels, if known; also, I'd be pleased to read of similar blades and their origins and destinations by other posters here.
