Dear Communitry,

I'm a new forum member, briefly introduced myself http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=10862

So last month I visited Yemen especially in order to meet local Jambiya traditions. So I want to share few pics at this forum

National Museum

Process of Jambiya making at the museum stand

And on the streets

Jambiya market in Sana'a

Thanks for the great photos. Were there any swords at the National Museum?

Great photos - very interesting...

There was not so many swords in the National Museum, still I took some pictures

There were some really nice turkish swords in other hall, but the museum staff didn't like me taking pictures there for some reason so I had to retreat

But I took a few shots in the Military Museum as well - cameras were allowed there

Pre-Islamic...

And later periods

Some more Jambiya of 19-20 centuries

And this Jambiya was a present from some Saudi official, it has Saudi coat of arms
