Whahabites was / is a movement named not by the Arabs but Western world after its founder (Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn Sulaymān al-Tamīm) who came from the Najd and was member of the Banu Tamim tribe
But that doesn't answer which kind of dagger Sir Richard had...sorry that I am not able to assist any further....it al depends which tribal identity Sir Richard took/ copied...
