The yemini blade looks to be a re-worked file. Often these blades (ex-files) make exceedingly nice and sharp knives...assuming the smith re-tempered the blade correctly. The Omani looks like a Rino horn handle....if you are not certain, post close-ups of the 'end grain' should look like 'orange peel'.
