Ibrahiim,

The silver cap on the top of some of these knives looks like those on top of powder containers discussed on this Bandolier post.

Are the caps repurposed from powder container stocks or purpose-made for knife embellishment?

Regards,
Ed

THANKS ED ~ The silver caps or crowns to these work knives are individually made for the knives. Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.

Hi

It was labelled on eprey as Arabian knife.
I post it here because the fittings look Omani, but the knife is not European.
Is it an Omani knife or an Indian knife?
This is a tricky object...
