A small Jambiya for comments, and a big one to.

Not my field - but they look great old pieces, well done.

Well done. Those are southern Hejaz and Southern modern day saudi daggers.

To make it easier, it is worn by tribes that populate the south. So you’d see it in Yemen, Najran and even Taif.

Hi Drabant1701,

Your jambiyas seem to have some age to them with the quality in craftsmanship silverwork and blade. As for the stones, I have seen plastic (bead-like) on the more recent pieces, or as new replacements of lost older ones, but also carnelian stone which I believe is at the end of the chape in the last photo.

Your jambiya are really nice and well worn...
I've seen the same on the hadramawt, Yemen.

Thank you everyone for your response. Thank you for the link Kubur, it was very informative. The small jambiya is super sharp, nothing one would let a child wear, i supose, not even in times old.
