I should perhaps also have said that this type of dagger is often refered to in sellers/collectors circles as "Wahabite" which in fact is completely incorrect. The correct term is "Dharia" and is described as such by the King Faisal Foundation Center for Research and Islamic Studies, Riyadh in their 1991publication titled Swords & Armour.
