Yemen Dagger

Hi again,
Just to answer Louie's query. The joulba is a jambiya style found mainly in the north and western parts of Yemen defined primarily by the shape of the scabbard.

Louie, probably you already know this, but your two horn hilted daggers are from the Hadhramaut area. The rhino one is a great style and are lovelly pieces - I have one also. The little silver dagger is harder to place but my guess would be also from southern Yemen, probably Mukalla or Habbin areas which had a population of quality silversmiths.
