One of the rarest forms of the Arab Jambiya is the Gusbi from Hadramaut, an arid coastal area in the south of Yemen along the Arabian see. Although the blade and handle are similar to those on common Arab Jambiya, the Gusbi is characterized by the considerably up-curving scabbard tip, with the chape (scabbard tip) sometimes higher than the pommel. Here is such a classical example of a Gusbi. Late 20C. 8 inches curved blade of good quality steel. I shaped Amber like material grip with silver/white metal rosettes . The wood scabbard is covered with leather and mounted with silver locket and chape set with red colored glass pieces. Very good condition.
