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 sea. 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 beautiful example of a Gusbi. 8 ½ inches curved blade with a pronounced central rib. I shaped horn grip set with steel nails. The wood scabbard is covered with tooled leather and mounted with silver locket and chape. Very good condition. Minor pitting on the blade.
