19th Century Omani Khanjar?

Many thanks for the comments and the wealth of information. I had to remind myself that I own a Kaskara that also looks like late 19th but is really only mid 20th. The Kaskara and this Jambiya were not made in the same place, but both were made (and presumably used) in rugged terrain. Maybe items from this part of the world age quickly if they are worn and used daily. Thanks again! Much appreciated.
