Salaams.
Thats good, the Khanjar is from the Batinah Coast. Looks like a bullhorn or cowhorn ("baker") hilt. Nice enough sample. Blade probably an import. The blades are held in by pitch by the way.
I liked the Yemeni Jewish Knife possibly pre 1948. Good blades also made out of lorry suspension bars.
