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,
