Yemeni/Omani Jambiya differences

Hi Kahnjar,

Thanks for the extra info. I thought that the pommel's promontories depicted the Kaaba Mosque, and that made the style Meccan. Although the other example I saw had a different scabbard's tip.

Do you know anything about the Yemeni Hodeida style jambia from the Tihama plains..?

Best regards

BTW, any idea where I can get a correct chape for the broken scabbard 's tip on my persian kahnjar?
