Knife for Trade

[mrmojo32]

Looking for trades on ammo or other gun stuff for this knife. My dad brought it back from Saudi Arabia and it's just been laying around for ever. Sorry about the bad photos.

Interesting. Any wild idea of handle material, age, etc?

I do not know about age but the blade has markings on it. The handle seems like some kind of plastic with brass scroll work inlaid. The sheath is brass and leather with what looks like a star of David on the back. It seems to be hand made.

It appears to be a variation on a Turkish design known as jambiya. If it's old, it's probably valuable. If not, it's most likely a tourist knife. At any rate, I like it. Nice find.

If he got it while in Saudi.....I ASSURE you, that is NOT a star of David on it.
