To Dom: What you have said amused me It is new information for me that Emarati people used Janbiyas and most certainly good to know that these are a type indigenous to the UAE.

Salaams , Before 1970 it was all tribal areas(Trucial Oman States) and 100 years ago and beyond it would all have been one jigsaw puzzle of feifdoms, tribal areas and generally disputed territories. So really, regarding artefacts, and in this case traditional weapons, it was all under one umbrella...Except for a few slight differences Khanajer are basically the same construction, however, to the trained eye they are distinctly different.
