Tourist and not very ethnic attempt to immitate the Arab Jambyia... or the Indian Khanjar... or both of them.

However, the technique doesn't appear to be Indian to me. More likely North Africa, Syria or even Turkey.

It is a jambiya, an Indian khanjar has a double curve.

Is there a scabbard to go with it?
