Very, very nice khanjar. Though I think the horn parts are not rhino but probably bovine, it is not to disrespect the item. While the form is clearly Syrian/Majdali, the work looks Armenian. I've handled a bunch of Jordanian shabriyyahs made exactly the same way, they were made by an Armenian silversmith family in Amman.
