Your thoughts about a jambiya

Yes, south Yemen.. for global opinion,Lew is right. I add that this kind of weapon is quite cultural in the Peninsula. Its presence is needed for imortant acts ( when they mary, when they contract, ...) as it were for the Keris in Indonesia.
So, Jambiya of all kind of quality are wanted as people are down there mostly poor.
Now, i suppose that a tourist can buy one too...
No, it's not silver, but silvered metal in your case.
