Default Omani Khanjar (Jambiya) for Comment.

I like this one. The embossed brass is nothing to write home about, but the blade is nice. I think it is wootz. Someone please correct me if I am wrong about this. Can anyone help with a translation? TIA!

That is the Shahada. There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah.

This is not an Omani style... I suspect Saudia??

Thanks Ibrahim. Oman was just a guess based on the similarities it has with the Omani 4-ring Khanjars.
