The style is sometimes referred to as a Jambiya type.

Isn`t this same as the middle eastern scimitar ??  I know most are longer but blade is same shape as the smaller ones also called scimitar !!  I am just talking about the shape !!

I’ve sold a few jambiyas and khanjars. This looks intended for the gift / tourist market
