Default Yemeni Janbiya

Hello all,

I found this interesting article dated July 2013 by a German researcher, Marie-Christine Heinze. She has spent five years researching the Yemeni janbiya.

Know thy janbiya
(You must register before you can download it.)

I have sent her an email and hope to open a discussion and introduce her to this forum (David waves in greeting to her if she is already a member! )

I'm especially interested in the history of the Jewish silversmiths of Yemen and how their exodus c. 1948 greatly affected the creation and tradition of janbiya in Yemen. (Yes, I have searched the forum and found many fine references, thank you! )

Best,

David

Salaams DaveA, Welcome to the Forum. The subject of expert Jewish craftsmenship in the Yemen is a brilliant choice to focuss upon... I look forward to seeing the work of Marie-Christine Heinze.

Default Glossary of Yemeni Janbiya terms

Ms. Heinze informs me that she is still finalizing her thesis so it is not yet available. However, she did provide me with a link to an extensive glossary of terms that might prove interesting to this forum.
