Curved Knife with "Syria" on it
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hello,

I have been trying to research (without success) a knife that has been in our house for decades. It is 10-1/2" long. I am posting several photos (hopefully I have resized them correctly) and would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thank you.

This is called a jambiya. This one was made for the tourist trade.
