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 beautiful example of a Gusbi. 9 inches curved wide blade of relatively good quality steel. I shaped grip of horn set with brass rosettes and decorated with metal nails. The wood scabbard is covered with leather and mounted with white metal locket and chape set with red colored glass pieces. Very good condition, minor pitted spots on the blade. The scababrd leather looks recent, probably to replace the original worn one.
