Yemeni Royal Jambiya – Hand-Forged Curved Blade with Ornate Scabbard & Aluminum Hilt | Everest Forge

The Yemeni Jambiya is one of the most iconic daggers in the Arab world — traditionally worn as a symbol of honor, identity, and heritage across Yemen and surrounding regions. This handcrafted version preserves that cultural legacy while offering functional performance and refined aesthetics.

The 14-inch blade is hand-forged from reclaimed 5160 spring steel, known for its toughness and edge retention. It features a gracefully curved profile, sharpened edges, and a polished finish. Forged and tempered by experienced Nepalese blacksmiths, the blade is water-hardened for flexibility and strength.

The 8-inch aluminum handle is elegantly shaped in the traditional Jambiya style, with engraved decorative collars and a smooth finish. The dagger comes with a decorated leather scabbard that includes brass fittings, red thread accents, and secure belt mounting points.

This Jambiya is suitable for collectors, cultural display, ceremonial wear, reenactment, or practical use.
