In a nutshell, the better the puncture, the heavier and less balanced it is and the lighter is is the better the balance is and I think construction kind of sucks either way. Its possible to get mod puncture but you sacrifice a great deal of balance. None of the LE forging templates are very appealing in my opinion.

Jamb has less puncture, more slice. Briq is a great LE stabber.

>Briq is alright, but not as good as the Jambiya at higher ranks compared. I've used both and I fall back on the jambiya everytime. The briq just doesn't hit as good that I see.

You mean for backstab, normal combat or both?

In 300s LE for me, I like the briq better for straight power stabbing. The jamb is nice because of what the slice "allows" you to do, I like the jamb better for straight combat. I think both are great weapons, worth giving a try and seeing what you think.
