are you sure that is an ethnic knife ?  for over 25 years I live "Egyptian", married with an Egyptian Lady, and we have residence in Egypt I dunno what it's like a dagger "said" Egyptian  it's might be a dagger folk, or not belonging to "Egyptian world"  a pic should be welcome for identification all the best à + Dom |

That is a Bagaboo knife from the Philippines not a jambiya. Nice example though.
