This wicked-looking knife with its steel blade and handle made of horn and bone is known as a jambiya. Although jambiya is the Arabic term for dagger, it also describes a specific type of dagger with a short, curved blade traditionally worn by the men of Yemen. The jambiya is a dangerous weapon, capable of making serious wounds. It can cut through muscle and bone and go deep enough to slit internal organs.
