Hi Joel,
Nice piece . As DOM says, called Sabiki and also DHARIA, from West KSA Asir/Hijaz area but also down as far as Yemen. The term "wahabite" is commonly used to describe these long bladed daggers/short swords.
If you go back to the recent thread "Show us your Jambiya", you will see others of this type.
Regards Stu
