Omani Khanjar

Hello everyone,

I just got access to the forum and I would be grateful if you can contribute some knowledge about an Omani khanjar I bought in Nizwa.

When I bought it I took two Omani friends of mine to make sure I get an authentic one and not a tourist replication.

The information I got was that the Khanjar is typical for a coastal region (I think they mentioned the area near Sur). It obviously has a 4 ring design and the front is fully covered with silver work.

The handle is supposed to be Rhino horn. At least from what I can tell it's not wood ^^.

There was no precise information about the age given. They just said it's "an old one".

I have read some other posts in the forum and I was very impressed about what you guys are able to find out.
