Salaams and thanks Lee...First is an Omani Khanjar from the Sharqiyya (not Sur) and favoured in the central area and south (Khaiyma and Salalah). I like the hilt which is hundreds of silver pins hammered into the horn grip that could well be Z'raff(Rhino). Second is a Yemeni Jambiyya. Third is a Yemeni Jambiyya( very basic dagger ) Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 2nd February 2012 at 04:14 PM. |

Ibrahiim, Gav and Gene, Thank you so much for your expertise (and kindness re the awful rust problem.) I live in the Southeastern part of the US, and have 53 inches of rainfall per year. I built a basement that is as waterproof as possible--sprayed-on rubber on the outside of the wall, and waterproof paint inside.
And a raised wooden floor with dehumidifiers going constantly. But, somehow the knives still managed to rust! I reckon it's back to the drawing board.... Thanks, Bill |

We can go for 2 or 3 years with no rain at all in some areas! With a collection as vast as yours you do really well ~dont worry about the rust just give the blades a greasing with wax ... trouble is these scabbards are often wooden inside and it is there that the moisture can build up. Once a month should be ok for a quick blade waxing ... You have some great items there !! Thank you for sharing Sir, and its great to hear from you... Regards,Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
