BRIEF HISTORY: The typical belt Jambiya, also spelled Janbia, jambiya, and Jambia, it is the Arabic term for dagger, but it is generally used to describe a specific type of dagger with a short curved blade that is worn on a belt. Although the term jambiya is also used in other Arab countries, it is mostly associated with people of Yemen. Also, it is commonly worn by Islamic men in the northeast horn of Africa (primarily Afars of Djibouti). Men typically above the age of 14 wear it as an accessory to their clothing, but known to obtain at earlier age. The hilt is the most significant part of a jambiya. Different versions of Saifani handles can be distinguished by their color and are made of different types of horns or wood. Apart from the material used for the handle, the design and detail on the handle describe its value and the status.
