Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Question about Middle Eastern knife (jambiya?)

I recently picked up this knife and was wondering if anyone can tell me about it, i.e. if there is an actual name for it, approximate age, where manufactured, if it is something other than a tourist item, etc. Hopefully the pics are enough to make a determination. I apologize if I've overdone it for a first post. Thanks for any help.
