This dagger is a beautiful work of traditional Arabic weaponry. Syrian Jambiya daggers, swords and knives are particularly valued, especially those made in Damascus, due to the quality of their steel. This piece is made of a typically thick Syrian steel. Due to its age, the dagger is worn and its blade is dull, with a tilted tip.
