Yemeni Janbiya

[DaveA]

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.

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
