Jambiya

A jambiya, also spelled janbiya, jambya, jambia and janbia (Arabic: جنبية janbiyyah), also known as a shibriyeh (Arabic: شبرية shibriyyah) in the Levant, is a specific type of dagger with a short curved blade with a medial ridge that originated from Yemen. They have spread to other countries in the Middle East, to other countries in the Arab world, and to parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Men typically above the age of 14 wear it as an accessory to their clothing.
