rarely used as weapons of defense; rather they are a means of defining and
displaying the status of a man in society. Jambiyas are also worn as a sign of
patriotism and tribal loyalty. Despite the significance of the Jambiya, it is
still a weapon. Although people have used it in times of dispute, there are societal norms
that must be followed in order to avoid defamation. The Jambiya should only come
out of its sheath in extreme cases of conflict. It is also commonly used in
traditional events such as dances.
