Hi All,

Here we have this variation of jambiya, the seller claims that's Balcan. However, I strictly doubt - my opinion it's somewhere from North Africa - maybe Sudan? And I also think it's some kind of tourist daggers - like those syrian jambiyas of XX century...Anyone help, please? Manythanks in advance~
