Thanks Battara!

The blade is solid, made of good metal.

As Patterson25 correctly pointed out, this is a Jambiya-huma from Asir in the Hodeida style, Saudi Arabia. But this is all relative, given the specifics of the region; there's definitely a Yemeni influence.

This is a Jambiya—a status symbol, not a souvenir for tourists.
