I was just outbid on Omani Kattara by Michael (still seething a little...)
However, here is my revenge: I bought a small Khyber from the same seller Michael bought his new Jambiya. Well, Michael, you missed the real thing!!!
This is a small Khyber with a nice bone handle (just a tad chipped), in a original embossed scabbard, with replaced drag and no throat.
But the blade is beautiful and well preserved wootz!

Very nice and congratulations but I did not miss that piece. I saw it when I found the Kattara but I stick to the Arabian peninsula. Like I said, I'm trying to keep this under control.

Michael, enjoy your kattara. And thanks for the site: even with the exchange rate these people ask for outrageous bundles of money.
Best wishes.
And as to your wife....
I worked hard on mine and she is slowly beginning to see the light.
A family that plays together, stays together.

I may be Battara, but I'm not into kattara (sorry had to say that :o ).......
Nice wootz on the khyber knife and good to have design on the leather scabbard which contrasts with the bone hilt. Very nice.

Hey, do not be too modest:you may be the first poet in history employing this rhyme!
