Curved Knife with "Syria" on it

HAM8T · 16th January 2007, 08:19 PM

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.

Thank you for your help....so, this is a souvenir-type thing?

Any idea of the age of this Jambiya and its value?

Please E-Mail me with any help you can offer.

Thank you
