The one from Artzi's website is likely a hybrid. Not necessarily put together but the hilt is Yemeni while the scabbard is Omani. The blade is the nicest part of that item.. the hilt is good rhino.

Salaams the dagger is certainly not Omani as stated and I am looking at the scabbard with the possibility of Salalah as the mark... I have the entire thing under review and hopefully I can get the correct angle on this style...The hilt looks identical in material...Have you any idea where it was obtained?

This dagger weighs 6oz.s, with the sheath it is 12 oz.s. Blade length 7.25",
overall it is 11.5 inches. My limited experience says this is very light. Looking forward to more information. My gut guess, says the blade and sheath could be 1920s-30s The hilt though much cleaner now is likely more recent. The lack of any metal reinforcement at the throat probably accounts for the wear and tear seen. The other dagger looks Yemeni to me too. I will ask the seller how mine was acquired. Steve
