Katana and Mare Rosu thank you for helping me learn about these knives. I actually kind of had this one right in my mind. The shop owner had the knives labeled. I noticed that some items in the field that I do know were glaring l wrong so I had no idea if his label was correct.

Thank you for your kind response. I am learning!

The jambiya seems to be of Omani origin and it does not seem to be one of quality I would keep my eye out for a nicer one on ebay.

Thanks Lew, I am not really interested in acquiring, I was more interested in "what am I looking at".

I visited this board and saw discussion on all sorts of knives with all sorts of names and didn't understand what I was reading.
