On Khanjars please see http://omanisilver.com/contents/en-u...i_khanjar.html which goes some way to try to unravel the conundrum of what I think are Omani and Saudia Khanjars from various locations but which are almost identical and tied into the complex mixture are Yemeni, Saudia al doojani and Omani styles. Whilst the possible mix up is understandable I think a lot more work needs to be done.

Contained in the reference are Khanjars very similar to the one shown here and readers would be advised to view the webpage in that regard and not least for its impressive list of books and early work on the general subject.
