Another jambiya in need of some TLC. WARNING: painful pictures inside

Apart from mending the handle and taking the rust off the blade, I'd leave it exactly the way it is. You could get a jambiya in perfect condition, if that's what you really want, but such a weapon would have no character. The damage adds to the mystique in my opinion.

If anyone asks, you can tell them, "Yeah, I damaged the blade in a duel with a dude who was making unwelcome advances to my girlfriend. He won't be bothering her any more..."
