Hi, i just bought this jambiya and curious about the inscriptions.

I believe somebody here could read and translate it.

Thank you very much

I saw that one on eBay, but I didn't even get close. I was hoping that someone on this forum got that. It's really beautiful, congratulations.

more seriously, what you ask for to translate is like ...

take a ball of wool , and you want the beginning of the wool yarn ...
once found, there is more to pull ...
but ... where is the beginning ? THAT IS THE QUESTION

therefore your request require; time, patience, and perhaps for nothing

Thanks a lot Dom....

However, i`m more confuse now ?

Is it some kind of poem ? If yes, Why did they put that on this dagger ? Sorry, i just didn`t get the point.

I think for edge weapon ( if i should put words ), i will put a heroic theme, or maybe with some religion connection, ie, God protection , etc...
