Omani Khanjar (?) for discussion

hello again. I have this piece my dad bought in London in the early 1980's. It has the belt attached. The belt is woven with fine silver wire. My interest is in the blade: It has the appearance of being scratched out of a piece of metal to make the fuller. The edge is actually pretty sharp. Has anyone seen this type of blade manufacture? Is this a desirable unique feature? or the opposite? Looks incredibly time consuming to produce. Handle is horn. Mo maker's marks visible.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
