The Yemen Jambiya.

[Ian]

Thanks Sully. A nice looking jambiya. It is in amazing condition for its reported age. Middle eastern weapons are not my area of primary interest, so I'm afraid I can't give you an informed response. However, based on the pictures of the blade that you have posted, I think the blade is unlikely to be wootz.

Could you show us a picture of the full length of the knife next to the sheath?

Regards, Ian.
