Any idea on this.. maybe Jambiya?

This is an Omani Jambiya, with a probably rhino horn hilt, and silver fittings. As Louie said, this is quite recent work, but its definetly not a tourist piece, this one is quite high grade than others recently made that Ive seen. As to the blade, it could either be a forged steel blade, hopefully, or a two piece sheet steel welded together. Try patting on the blade or striking it carefully on the wall and see what kind of sound you get.
