Recent Jambiya and a new Khanjar

Nice one Steve, like them both.

The first one is Omani with Yemeni influence on the hilt, but I think its an all Omani production because the silver on the hilt is of Omani style. Very interesting piece I am glad you got it.

Do not think that the hilt is rhino but this type is used often on Omani items, translucent and greenish.. I have seen it many times.

The 2nd one is very interesting, I think its a child's Sabik.

Was watching both, glad that you got them so we can study them :-)
