The Saudi Dojan Khanjar

Though the Dojani khanjar shares common designs with Omani styles (some later makers adopted more Omani features) it is though, a later evolution of the style shared in these images.

Both these daggers are early, dating (according to examples of provenance) to the king AbdulAziz era and likely slightly earlier. The main differences are the wire wrapping style and the minimal curve on the scabbard. Now for this style, I am not 100% certain where it is originated. Atleast not in a sure way.
