The Jambiya also known as the Arab knife is in some modification found in every country in which the Arabs have lived.

Both sides of the blade have hand tooled decoration and a single inlaid small coral roundel. The knife is 10 ¾” overall length. The brass hilt has ornate hand tooled panels. The Jambiya is complete with its leather scabbard which has a belt loop with retaining strap and press stud fastener. The front of the scabbard has ringed vent holes. All leather and stitching are clean and intact. The price includes UK delivery. ED 3048
