Kirpan, Janbiya; six of one half dozen of another, Mooslambs say "Janbiya", Sikh's say "Kirpan", although, Janbiya tend to have a broader crescent shaped blade, I would call it a "straight" Kirpan, but could be a Janbiya too, depends on who is rocking it, in India, it's a "Kirpan" if you're a Sikh, "Janbiya" if you're a Mooslamb.The Conservative wrote:Smitty-48 wrote:It's a Kirpan.Kath wrote:I won this knife in a raffle.

In case you poke yourself with it, wearing it in your belt. That's why they are often hook shaped, so you don't jab yourself with the hilt every time you sit down.Kath wrote:What's the pinhead thing on the sheath for?

There's no markings at all , so can't speak to anything about quality.
