Superb in very good condition, without defects..

The blade is traditionally slightly curved and made of forged steel with a central edge, No rust, but a superb patina of the carbon blade..you can see little decorations into the patina

Most men in Yemen wear one from their fourteenth birthday.
Because the jambiya is worn more like jewelry, they often have an elaborately decorated hilt and scabbard, much like this dagger.

Superb object for the true collector. old rare, look at the pictures...

Total length of the dagger in the scabbard: 28,00 cm straight, you have to add the curvature
