Is this piece worthy of collecting. Is it a good representational piece from a specific culture or location.? Is this a piece you put in your collection until you find a better piece. Is this a good starter piece? Or, is this piece something you could call good enough and move on to other items?

Excellent points, DD. "Worth" can be measured in many ways other than the assignment of a monetary value. In addition to the qualities you mention, opinions on quality, rarity, condition and desireability are all helpful indicators of value or worth.
I know very little about jambiya, so I can't comment about this specific item.
