Does size matter? Question to jambiya lovers

[Kubur]

Hi

I have a question or maybe a comment to all jambiya lovers.
Most of the jambiya and khanjar are around 33cm long in their scabbards/sheath.
Expect the Meccan jambiya, some models are around 30-34cm, but most of them are between 25 to 28cm.
Like the one published by Stu - 26cm

Some people said that they were made for children.
But i don't think this explanation well grounded, because it's a lot of jambiya and unless they had a lot of spoiled childs in Mecca I don't believe in this easy explanation.
One question for Stu about the belt of your previous jambiya, is it a man or child belt?
Second point I think Elggod mentioned that Lawrence asked for a small jambiya easy to wear.
So my question is simple: can we say that Meccan jambiya are normaly or can be smaller in size compared to their Yemeni counterparts???
Best,
Kubur
