Exciting Project; Historic Khanjar. The UAE KHANJAR.

Stu, as usual you are right

nevertheless, my comments were based on general appearance,
especially the silver wire decor on the leather who wraps the scabbard

the source appears to be identical, it's not you think?

I have no pretension of wanting to make a parallel
especially with regard to quality between my khanjar,
and that of Sheikh Zayed

mine, is pleasant, without pretension, the other is simply wonderful

Amazing craftmanship! well done Ibrahim (Jazaak allah khair wild 3ami)

To Dom: What you have said amused me

It is new information for me that Emarati people used Janbiyas and most certainly good to know that these are a type indigenous to the UAE.

Salaams , Before 1970 it was all tribal areas(Trucial Oman States) and 100 years ago and beyond it would all have been one jigsaw puzzle of feifdoms, tribal areas and generally disputed territories. So really, regarding artefacts, and in this case traditional weapons, it was all under one umbrella...Except for a few slight differences Khanajer are basically the same construction, however, to the trained eye they are distinctly different.

Salaams,
This is the short section of Khanjar Belt (Hazam)containing the belt buckle. In this version the belt is solid silver in two rectangles, articulated, and gold wash adorned, florally. It is said that the silver buckle was formed by pouring molton silver into a mold comprising two cuttlefish shells and then after setting, hand finished by the craftsman.

~I think a complete library of accessories will assist the Forum and I will add items of accessories and belts as we roll forward. The Khanjar is less than complete without such additions. I think a picture with a tribesman in full regalia would be a start so I will go and find one ! ~

Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
