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. 8 inches curved blade of good quality steel. I shaped grip of Rhino horn set with an old silver coin and a silver rosette. The wood scabbard is covered with leather and mounted with silver locket and chape set with Corals and colored glass pieces. Very good condition, only minor dents on the silver parts and minor pitted spots on the blade.
