They look like the sheaths mid sections were originally covered in leather.
Blades are 5 and 51/2 inches long. The top one in the sheathed photo has
an eared balkinlike pommel. Thank you for any information on these two.
Salaams, Provisionally I would say almost certainly both daggers are from Ras Al Khaimah. They are worn simply under the belt at the side. I can drum up some souk pictures on my next visit in a day or two. Ibrahiim
