That hilt looks like an arabian saif or nimcha without the guard to me.
These swords are refered to in the caption on the website as الكتارة "the Kattara" but this does not translate in any dictionary. I also search for the tri-consonental rootكتر ktr but got nothing. I also found them refered to as مستقيم السيف العماني "Omani Straight Swords".
