I have not heard of any Jewish bladesmiths making swords or daggers in that part of the world.

Lew it took me a while to remember where I had read it and I interpreted to be the blade but maybe it was meant to speak of the silver work. The exact quote was from Manoucher

Many antique Jambiyas or Jan' biyyah used to be made by Jewish smiths.These blades have better quality than the other ones. Please note that many Jambiyas do not have quality blades, but the workmanship which goes into the grip and sheath is excellent.
