I'm not a specialist, but i think these safra are a little bit too nice to be just companion knifes...

This link will be useful too

For me a companion knife is attached to the back of the main scabbard and main dagger. These Safra are knifes.

By the way are they Yemeni or Omani???

If I can assist on the name it says ...quite roughly applied thus perhaps not the maker but more like the owner..Li ibn saaid bin hamdan (or possibly abdul rehman) This is not Omani as these are Yemeni weapons/ accompanying daggers work knives.

I recall a very nice Shabriya from Yemen at the opener on http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=shibriya and later down the page an example of the project weapon ..
