My first Omani Khanjar

[blue lander]

The hilt looks more like the "Al Ahsa" khanjar, but the scabbard with the chequered wire looks more like the Asir style ones. I also wonder if the scabbard is really made out of silver, as it seems to have a greenish patina to it like copper or something.

Everything else is dressing and thus for me secondary, although I very much appreciate decoration.

I love the blade shape too, it's very lean and functional looking as you say.
