 just a convention according with countries, for instance in France we 'll not used the same spelling than in UK i.e. - Jeddah (city) for English - Djeddah (city) for French  now to clarify for you - Jambiya - Khanjar ... "kh" equal a son of "krrr" on the pic, you have - a Jambiya from Hadramout Yemen - a khanjar from Oman à + Dom |

Thank you very much, Dom. Yet, now I'm more confused!
Pardon my blatant ignorance. My scabbard is 135 degs. bent. It doesn't then follow either Omani, Saudi, Emirati or Yemeni customs! You have four blades on your picture, two lying and two standing. The one standing on the left has a 90 deg angle on the scabbard, it is then a ...Saudi, Emirati, or Omani? The one standing on the right has a 180 deg angle with a very high thum, making it Yemenite? I understand this high thum is characteristic of the gusbi jambiyas from Yemen's Hadramout Wadi? The horizontal one on the left is, a persian Kahnjar? The right, an ottoman kard perhaps? So, all in all, what do you make of mine. Yemeni? Best regards. Manuel Last edited by celtan; 23rd January 2011 at 03:15 AM. |
