I saw a lot of these in the UAE, but after thinking about it most if not all were offered for sale by Yemeni dealers........

A comment/ question: "khanjar" is a hindi word adopted in the gulf over time, is it not?
Jambiya is arabic (means "side dagger") and the two are used interchangeably there, as far as I could tell.
