Omani Khanjar

[William Fox]

Salam alaikam,

Hello everyone, I bought this khanjar from a friend when I was in Muscat a few years ago. Im not sure how old it is, or which parts of it are old, or more recent additions: I know that these daggers are often repaired and added to over time.

Perhaps some of our Omani experts could help me find out what region this style is from.

I am also wondering if the blade is a modern replacement, as it is so crudely made.

Best regards
