Gentlemen, thanks a bunch for your help! Your expertise is most impressive to an old coot like me, who collected with the one book that was available
at the time--Stone's. I very much appreciate all the research you have put in on the knives, and your kind comments. Thanks, Bill |

Salaams whistlinbill, Ok you have a good collection there... Gold? If its the number one I would say gold wash...over silver. Your No 1 is a Salalah Khanjar. No 2 is Habaabi from Saudia close to the Oman border. 3 and 4 are a puzzle; Made in Oman perhaps but 3 is decorated in the UAE style below the belt and 4 is odd as it has no belt section(broke off?) but could be a mixture worn say in the southern fringes and we go for Salalah ... 5 is Saudia Jambia WE THINK! Cleaned up and derusted they will look great. Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi. Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 21st December 2011 at 05:18 PM. |

Another very nice group there Bill. Wide range of syles and ages.
At the very least get some penetrating oil on the rusted patches like the ones on #7 to try and stop the decay progressing. Are these more from the cellar? Can't wait to see what you DO display!  Best Gene |

Salaams and thanks Lee...First is an Omani Khanjar from the Sharqiyya (not Sur) and favoured in the central area and south (Khaiyma and Salalah). I like the hilt which is hundreds of silver pins hammered into the horn grip that could well be Z'raff(Rhino). Second is a Yemeni Jambiyya. Third is a Yemeni Jambiyya( very basic dagger ) Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 2nd February 2012 at 04:14 PM. |
