Saudi Arabia jambiya / janbiyya / khanjar in mounted scabbard.
These janbiyyas witth their distinctive long, curved blades are
particularly associated with the conservartive Wahabi sect of Sunni
Muslims. The Wahabite is the largest jambiya because its blade length
isn't
as curved as shorter versions. The blade is double edged without a
central rib. The blade is noticeably thin and flat. The hilt is made
from wood and white metal mounted, the front has extensive
ornamentation shaped as pearl nodules. The scabbard is made of wood and metal bound. This khanjar is in good condition and has some age
related wear.
The term Wahabite is a general name for the people
of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Locally this type of jambiya is called a
Sabak (Hejaz) or Sebiki (Yemeni).
Overall length in the scabbard: 52 cm (20 1/2")
Length of the blade with handle: 50 cm (19 2/3")
Length of the blade without handle: 37 cm (14 1/2")
Width at the ricasso: 6.3 cm (2 1/2")
