Salaams A.alnakkas ~ There are two Khanjar looking weapons on the table ... The one on the far right of shot is indeed an Omani Khanjar(Baatina) but the other is a Saudia example, however, it has an Omani belt... You may wish to switch them. Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.

Salaams Khanjar I ~If you want an appraisal as to where these daggers (THE KHANJAR SHAPES) are from I can give you that... some are UAE others Saudia and a couple from Oman. Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
