Janbiya, also spelled jambia, jambya, jambiya, and janbia (Arabic: جنۢبية‎ janbīyah), is the Arabic term for a specific type of dagger with a short curved blade and a medial ridge that originated from Yemen. It is most closely associated with the people of Yemen and Najran in Saudi Arabia. Men typically above the age of 14 wear it as an accessory to their clothing. The janbiya is commonly referred to in Oman as a khanjar, xencer in Kurdistan region and Qolxad in Djibouti.
