 * Comment The article seems confused about the spelling of the word. "Janbiya and Janbia" appear in bold on an article titled "Jambiya". – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 17:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 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. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 17:09, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support There probably isn't a standard phonetic spelling when going from Arabic to English, thus the various spellings. JJ Harrison (talk) 03:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * comment blown highlights on the engraving on the hilt.©Geni 08:37, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose 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. JFitch   (talk)  11:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. 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.  Spikebrennan (talk) 19:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, saw this in the Rhinoceros article when I was nominating an image from there; meant to return to it. Cowtowner (talk) 01:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
