[Jim McDougall]

Hi Dom, well noted, these terms are strictly Yemeni. I have not seen notes accordingly placed for the Omani khanjars and am unclear whether the same materials have the same nomenclature there. While they also use rhino horn, or try to, I am unsure whether the same arcane properties carry the same type classifications with different terms?

That would be interesting to hear more about.

All the best,
Jim
