Nice Old Saudi/Yemen Jambiya

Lew · 8th December 2007, 07:33 PM

This arrived today. It seems to be a cross between a Saudi and a Yemeni jambiy. The blade is longer and some what narrower than most of the Yemen style jambiyas I have come across. The blade is about 9.5-10 inches long and is very well made with a thick center rib. The hilt is buffalo horn with nice silver fittings. The scabbard has seen better days and is quite worn but in all a very unique jambiya variation.
