Middle left is likely Indo/Persian. It is of Yemen style but the metal toe cap on the scabbard indicates origin elsewhere. Middle right is from Yemen Bottom is a Dharia from Western Saudi Arabia. Stu |

Hi again Chregu,
I would like you to refer to this previous thread and go to the last post, where the term "habaabi" is discussed http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=habaabi Rather than being an area, it is, according to Ibrahiim's response, a convenient term used by Omanis to describe non Omani jambiya. Ibrahiim has described your #2 as this. It certainly seems to be Saudia but as to actual area, I can not help. Stu |
