Michael,
This is quite interesting to track down the origin and development of the southern arabic jambiya. I suspect that there is a longer history than most people realise and that the early Roman trade with India via Yemen may even be the genesis.
Can you tell me where the quote you have posted has come from and the date of the translation.
Thanks, Steve
