The Arab EDC jambiya

[ukknifer]

I am wondering if anyone makes a modern version with modern materials of the jambiya.

The jambiya is still widly used as an edc blade of many people in Arabia especially Yemen. It is mostly part of the mans outfit though.

I'm surprised Spyderco hasn't.

Benchmade Bedlam. It's been discontinued, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Someone had been taking orders for the Jordanian Army version, a real working jambiya.

All I have is a cheap brass souvenir version.

About the closest I can think for a somewhat modern interpretation would be the Cobra Steel jambiya by Windlass. Not really modern materials (hard rubber handle, 1084 blade, and leather sheath), but the styling is a bit more modern.

As Haze mentions, the Szabo Omani fits the requirements.
