The Omani Khanjar

Gonzoadler · 17th April 2021, 11:33 AM

Made some spontaneous pictures of another Khanjar from my collection:

Scabbard and hilt should be antique but maybe the blade was replaced later.
I also added a macro shot of the rhino handle.

As I bought it, a little piece of parchment was with it.
Maybe anyone can help me with the translation?

Regards

Macro and parchment.

Gonzo,

The author of this thread has not been seen on these pages for a couple of years. I'm afraid you may not get very much response from the rest of us because Ibrahiim was the authority on these knives.

No problem, but maybe I get some help with the inscription on the parchment, would be better than nothing.

The dagger with lots of black leather showing below the belt is as well as being an Omani style occasionally seen in the interior (Dhakilliyya) but is the form adopted by the UAE geographically right next door. It stars as one of the designs shown in the thread earlier. I persuaded one of my craftsmen to make some new ones a few years ago and that can be seen in the thread and others are illustrated with the same leather work . The UAE KHANJAR.

So I guess Ibrahiim is Peter Hudson now.

Hello,

thank you for the informations! It's nice to have somebody here again who has some knowledge about these daggers.
What do you think about the dagger I showed before with the gold ring and the old blade with two midribs. How old could be that Khanjar?

Regards
Robin
