  • When you visit Yemen for the first time you might be surprised by all the people wearing curved daggers.. But the curved metal blades are not necessarily for fighting. Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Sanaa.

    As an amateur American cutlery collector...I always liked this particular knife (dagger.) I have modestly priced Japanese Tanto, Bowie's, etc...To bad there aren't very many worthy production made pieces....

    These daggers are made of rhino horns and are the reason there are only a few thousand rhinos today. Yemen people pay thousands for poachers in South Africa to make rhinos extinct so they can have fancy knives witch are not used at all except for ceremony’s and showing people how cool they are because they can make animals on the edge of extinction.
