Oh I see, "jambiya" is explained halfway down the article, sort of. I like the image; I can't tell if it's sharp or not—the image, not the blade :D — and I'm pretty new to the English FAC, so I'm still getting a feel of what's expected for images around here.

Blown highlights as stated. Also dagger is very greasy, creating poor looking reflections on the blade. I don't feel that the image is special enough that it could not be retaken to a higher standard.
226:. Looks like a good photograph of a museum piece to me. I don't think there's anything unusual about the blade being greasy-- blades are often oiled to prevent rust. 294: 284: 17: 289: 114:
The article seems confused about the spelling of the word. "Janbiya and Janbia" appear in bold on an article titled "Jambiya". –

There probably isn't a standard phonetic spelling when going from Arabic to English, thus the various spellings.
