Yemini kid and his jambia dagger - Yemen

The Jambia is the traditional knife that every man has to wear in Yemen. Before, it was partly made with the horn of rhinoceros. When i came first in yemen when i was a kid, in the 70's, all the men carried also some guns or AK47! Nowadays, it is forbidden to carry them inside the towns.
